Doshus
Doshus Doshus formed in 2007, and is based out of Venice, California. The band is a trio, with Theodore Lizée – guitar & vocals; David Boyles – bass & vocals; and Ben Martin – drums & vocals. Ted and Dave met in college while studying music in North Carolina and have played in bands together for over 10 years. Ben was a member of the funktastic jam band “mamaSutra”, touring the West Coast extensively. Most recently Dave, Ben and Ted were known as the “David Boyles Trio” and were signed to Sony/Columbia-Japan, with Dave on guitar and Ted on bass, (Ben on drums) playing Dave’s music. In the early stages of the band, the music for Doshus was primarily written by Ted, but more recently they've been collaborating as a band on new music, and incorporating Dave's new songs. The concept for Doshus is rooted in the craft of songwriting, vocal harmonies, and musicianship... merging the written with live improv, and presents a solid platform for musicians to converse. Their live shows have been known to feature a growing list of "special guests", including vocalists, turntablists, guitar players, keyboard/synth players, percussionists, and horn sections.
