MURDERFIST is a journey to the extreme horizon of your mind-ocean. Winston-Salems, a couple of old chubbies, a horse with a banana in it’s mouth, a man dressed up like a doctor, some Peppercorn schnapps and Monster Mash playing on repeat, MURDERFIST is going to get loud and get weird and this show may just help the pain of being alive. Nominated for the 2009 and 2010 ECNY award for Best Sketch Comedy Group. “[MURDERFIST] is the only group that has attempted to bring me back to life!” - Peter Briggard Mayonnaise, inventor of mayonnaise.

Last Tuesday the Devil had his throat slit in his sleep. With the thorny crooked throne of Hell empty, Hell has been taken over by MURDERFIST. To give Hell back to the Devil’s son Peter Briggard Mayonnaise, inventor of mayonnaise, God Himself has created an army, A Secret Army if you will, to attack these foul demons of MURDERFIST using their ability to talk to animals. MURDERFIST hates justice and The Secret Army is JUSTICE. Will there ever be peace in Hell again? Absolutely not. You may be asking yourself the question well, who is in This Secret Army? It’s a secret. We’ll give you a hint though, it’s 4 members of Parliament Funkadelic and 320lbs of mind-bending guitar fury in the form of a gentle giant named Marc Munoz.

29-year-old musician Danny Bedrosian is the current keyboardist for George Clinton & the P-Funk All-Stars, as well as a half a dozen other bands around the nation and the world. Bedrosian is the lead vocalist, keyboardist, producer, chief songwriter, arranger and publisher for Secret Army. This band is a patchwork of genres, races, ethnicities, genders, and spiritual creeds under one unifying musical force. Also at the fore of the band is Parliament-Funkadelic/P-Funk All Star Lige Curry on Bass Guitar. Lige Curry is a longtime P-Funk bassist, vocalist, writer, and all around contributor whose songwriting talents grace most of Secret Army’s repertoire as well. The solid bedrock of Rico Lewis, who is a George Clinton and The P-Funk All-Stars’ alumnus drummer, lends a pound of foot to the all pervading mix of Funk, Ethnic Middle Eastern music, R&B, Hip-Hop, Rock, and proto classical movements. The Guitar section is rounded out by German-born, Boston bred virtuoso guitarist Marc Munoz. Additional vocals are handled by Parliament-Funkadelic vocalist, who is a star in her own right with a very lucrative solo career, Miss Kendra Foster. Secret Army is quickly proving its own innovative brand of alternative music, thus lending an important commentary on the state of unity in our world. The hypnotic musical journey, both endearing and baffling, will leave the listeners in endless delight at the new sounds. Secret Army is finally polished with the animation and cartoons of artist Nathan Boucher, who brings an especially unique attention to detail and shimmering colors. Secret Army also serves up a potentially marketable sound, with a youthful energy important to its image and its sound that is virtually unmistakable. This band has a sound and look that one will never forget; don’t miss out on Secret Army.
