PRIMITIVE DESTRUCTION OF THE FUTURE - PRIMITIVE DESTRUCTION OF THE FUTURE is a musical project that uses puppets to bridge our songwriting with comedic puppet based improv and thematic sketches. Sydney Bourke, Aaron Hautala and Andrew Erikson are the core members but they have collaborated with The Congregation as well as Mr. Bonetangles in the past and enjoy the idea of more collaboration as we hopefully ingrain ourselves in the puppet scene.
