Original poetry, combined with spontaneous, creative improvisations that create fever dreams of avant Americana is what the ensemble Serious Fun is all about. This New Jersey collective musically mind-melds the original poetry of John Hammel (vocals, harmonica etc.); Peter Biedermann (guitars and electronics) and Pastor Anthony LaMort (keyboards, electronics, laptop) into a blend of mayhem and musical madness, straining to reach cathartic epiphanies of the soul and spirit.
