dufus is a musician/artist collective based on a core group and rotating guest performer roster. within the core exist 5 members (guitars, sampler, bass, drums, male and female vocalists). the outer level is composed of about 40 people who are members of one or more of these three groups: Fun Wearing Underwear, the Dorkestra and the Doofamily. these people are involved in a number of ways, some are dancers, choral singers, horns, orchstral instruments, visual artists (electro and organic). we have recently added information specialists who collect data concerning any number of subjects and disperse it in one way or another (projections and info packets) through the audience in an attempt to open channels of thought.
Each performance takes on a life of its own keeping its form nonetheless because the core group remains stable. there is a good deal of improvisation but also well orchestrated planned ideas and great songs of newness.
DORKESTRA Sometimes dufus will play with a number of orchestral instruments including violin, viola, cello, bass, clarinet, saxaphone, tuba, piano, flute, oboe, bassoon, percussion, etc.
DOOFAMILY The Doofamily is made up of previous members of the band and others who are at times invited to be a part of the shows.
FUN WEARING UNDERWEAR (seth's musical theater experiment) Fun Wearing Underwear is an abstrakt projekt in deleriousness and tom quackery where there's a wooden seed planted to a peach flavored pickle and a whole bunch of people acting real stupid just cuz it's fun to do.
