History
After the short lived
n0 things, ex
Liars bass player, Pat Noecker formed These Are Powers with Anna Barie (vocals/guitar) (ex Knife Skills & Fxxxing Lion) and Ted McGrath (drums) in 2006. The latter was replaced by
electroacoustic drummer/percussionist Bill Salas. Noecker plays a
prepared bass guitar with a wooden
dowel put under the strings which functions as an additional
3rd bridge and shortens the string length causing an altered
musical scale with the fret positions. Salas is also active as a producer and solo artist under the name
Brenmar. The band is on
Dead Oceans Records in the U.S. and has a vinyl release with the Swedish label Deleted Art. These Are Powers also appears in live improvised performances and collaborations as These
Our
Powers.
