Formed in Minneapolis in 1999, Lateduster was originally an instrumental sextet called Cropduster, with a symmetrical lineup of two guitars, two full drum kits and two DJs on 4 turntables. By the beginning of 2000, they had pared themselves down to a 4-piece and began honing their unique textural sound into intricately arranged chamber music.
Lateduster makes dramatic instrumental mood music with an imaginative combination of live drums, bass, guitars, turntables, and keys run through a myriad of effects and samplers to stunning effect. Composed and performed by multi-instrumentalists Bryan Olson, JG Everest, Martin Dosh and Andrew Broder, Lateduster’s music is a richly textured, yet carefully arranged combination of sophisticated rhythms and gorgeous melodies. After nearly three years of performing and recording, the band took a break in November 2002 after releasing it’s fifth self-released CD, in order to focus on their other projects. These projects include Fog, Hymie's Basement, Dosh, Neotropic, and Sans Le Systeme.
