Recycled Percussion is a Manchester, New Hampshire-based band. The group was originally formed in Goffstown, New Hampshire. Formed in 1994 in New Hampshire at their High School talent show, Recycled Percussion’s first performance gave birth to the style of music now known as "junk rock". During every show, the band mixes their gritty assault on buckets, power tools or anything else they can get their sticks on. ==History== Justin Spencer formed Recycled Percussion in 1995 for a high school talent show. Justin was looking for a way to be as creative as possible and took the idea of playing buckets, which was introduced to him in the subways of New York City. Deciding to take the next step, Justin added more and more instruments to the show and expanded on the New York style of street percussion. The band started to take off in 1999 when they were featured on the cover of ''USA Today''. Recycled Percussion began touring the country performing over 10 shows a year starting in 2001 and began breaking records in the college market. Performing at colleges, NBA halftimes, NFL halftimes, and at corporate events for major companies all over the world, it seemed that Recycled Percussion was going to be around for a long time. The group continued to tour for 10 years until they made their debut on the television show ''America's Got Talent''. The group auditioned with over hundred acts and became the then-highest placed non-singing act to ever compete in the series' history, finishing third. They lost this distinction when Olate Dogs won season seven in 2012. After this national exposure, many doors opened for the group and they began to work with Jerry Springer on a live version of “America’s Got Talent.” They spent three months performing at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas and one month performing the live show at MGM Grand Foxwoods in Connecticut. In 2010, the band sealed a deal with the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to have their own show. After successful runs of shows at MGM, Tropicana and The Quad on the Las Vegas Strip, they last moved the show to the Saxe Theater at Planet Hollywood on the Las Vegas Strip. Their interactive show gives each audience member a chance to get in on the act as everybody is given a drumstick and a unique instrument upon entering. The band’s immersive show incorporates everyday items like power tools, ladders, buckets and trashcans, turning them into widely varying sounding percussion instruments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Recycled Percussion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
