Six Organs of Admittance
There's been a lot of critical cooing over Ben Chasny and Chris Corsano of the noise-psych-rock-free-jazz band Six Organs of Admittance. Chasny, a California native, has been issuing mostly solo material as Six Organs, as well as slinging riffs in Sub Pop’s premiere grunge band Comets on Fire. But Chasny knew he had to bring out the big guns for his recent Drag City debut, School of the Flower, so he brought on power drummer Chris “Styx” Corsano.

Best known for bashing out the hits in groups like Vampire Belt and Cold Bleak Heat, Corsano has become the drummer de rigeur for the discriminating rock elite.
