Stick Men is a progressive rock band founded in 2007 by drummer Pat Mastelotto and Stickists Tony Levin and Michael Bernier. Since 2010, the lineup stabilized around Mastelotto, Levin and Markus Reuter. The band was formed as a vehicle for progressive rock music performed almost exclusively with Sticks and drums. ==History== In 2007, Levin released a solo album entitled ''Stick Man'', consisting of pieces recorded on the Chapman Stick, featuring his King Crimson bandmate Pat Mastelotto on drums. This then led to the formation of the band Stick Men by Mastelotto, Levin and Chapman Stick player Michael Bernier. The band released its first album ''Soup'' in 2010. Bernier left shortly after the release of ''Soup'', to be replaced by Markus Reuter in early August 2010. The new lineup released the CD ''Absalom'', in 2011, and an album of improvisations, ''Open'', in June 2012. A studio album titled ''Deep'' was released in February 2013. There is a special edition including a DVD. The album features heavy rock pieces that are mostly instrumental with exceptions like Horatio featuring Pat Mastelotto on vocals. The album also includes 11 minute tone poem Whale Watch based on Tony Levin's experiences taking whale watching trips out of Boston.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://archive.org/details/MastelottoPatOutsight )〕 In January 2014, the band released their first live album called ''Power Play''.
