Keyboard rocker + skate-boarder punk saxophonist + violin virtuoso + wild metro-gnome = SWARMIUS.

The mindset of SWARMIUS:

Says SAXIMUS, skateboard-pro-turned-rogue-sax-master: You have to have balls, you have to go for it. If you are speeding across a parking lot, about to kickflip-ollie down a set of 15 stairs, you have a choice to make, pull the trick or end up bloody as hell.

It's about taking risks, on stage and in the studio, with one foot in Europe, one in Africa, head in the clouds and ass on the line -- You've got to stay vulnerable, or you're not saying anything... says Jozefius (aka Joseph Waters) the band's composer and laptopist. SWARMIUS is the result.

The BAND

Comprised of SAXIMUS (saxophone), Fiddlus el Gato (violin), composer/laptop performer Jozefius Vaatierz Rattus, and assisted most ably by esteemed guest percussionist Crotalius Redfoot, the quartet is committed to creating edgy classical music that connects to the music in the streets, clubs, and bedrooms of today's world. Each of SWARMIUS' members is a virtuoso in his own right.
