Details:
Absynth incorporates elements of house, drum & bass, ambient, indie rock, jazz, big beat, hip hop, alternative, and jam rock, combining them all to make one incomparable sound. The Reno News and Review describes their music as, "like the aggressive, insistent playing of an East Village experimental jazz trio, but riding the beats and rhythms of dance music."

Absynth is the product of three diversely influenced musicians; Adam Northway, Dustin Johnson, and James Cooke. Formed behind the scenic backdrop of Lake Tahoe in 2004, what began as a musical experiment rapidly blossomed into a distinguished live experience.

The band quickly caught the attention of the Northern California music scene and in 2006 has shared the stage and played local festivals with such acts as The Motet, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Garage Mahal, Papa Mali, On the One, Radioactive, Blue Turtle Seduction and The John Popper Project featuring DJ Logic. Fans of Absynth can look forward to continued touring and the long awaited release of their debut album as well as exclusive live recordings.

Absynth has been featured in all aspects of the media including, The Resort Sports Network, Fox News Reno, 100.1 Reno, 100.3 KHGQ Quincy, Reno News & Review, South Lake Tahoe Tribune, North Lake Tahoe Action and Lake Tahoe Weekly. The trio's music is also highlighted in such films as Plutonomy Design's "Art of the Ride" and Deep Roots Media's "Fire on the Mountain."
