Somewhere between Ben Folds and Nine Inch Nails, with a little twist of Frank Zappa, TeaM iLLuMiNaTi is the brain child of Ernest Chapman, who grew up with a passion for music and conspiracy theories.

What first started out as a joke name for a band soon became a world unto itself, complete with a secret take-over-the-world-agenda, exclusive team-member ID cards, and a growing fanbase of people with a taste for the theatre of the absurd.

Though Chapman plays most of the instruments on the record, Team Illuminati's live band-members include steady bassist and co-writer Jessie Friedman, drummer Noah Hungate, and guitarist Bobby Holland.
