Hamster Theatre is an American avant-rock, experimental, and folk jazz music group based in Boulder, Colorado. It is led by composer and multi-instrumentalist Dave Willey. The band has released three albums and has performed at various festivals, including Progman Cometh and ProgDay.[1]
Hamster Theatre's music is based on European Rock in Opposition[2] and is influenced by many sources, including Lars Hollmer, Erik Satie, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, and Henry Cow.[3] In a biography on AllMusic, Dave Lynch wrote that the band "conjur[es] up beauty, magic, mystery, unpredictability, and manic energy and humor".[1]
