Stick Men is a supergroup formed in 2007 by Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto and Markus Reuter. Levin is one of the most recorded bass players in history, having worked and toured with artists such as Peter Gabriel, John Lennon, Pink Floyd and Paul Simon, as well as serving as a permanent member of King Crimson and L’Image. Levin plays the Chapman Stick (for which the band is named), which is an instrument that has both bass and guitar strings. Mastelotto is a self-taught, genre-jumping drummer who has played with groups like Mr. Mister, The Rembrandts and, for the past 25 years, King Crimson. Reuter was originally trained as a pianist, but eventually designed and learned to play his trademark touch style guitar. He has released several solo recordings and is a member of Tuner, TRUCE and experimental band Centrozoon. This dynamic collaboration has resulted in numerous live and studio albums and live shows well-suited to any prog-rock fan.
