Recycled-instrument live bands
Hear cereal boxes and discarded objects become a band
The Garbage-Men
This Sarasota band builds its music around reclaimed-object instruments, including cereal-box guitars, trash-container percussion and repurposed telephone microphones. Its owned site invites event-hire inquiries, and its current artist profile links the same booking identity and recycled-instrument repertoire.
Current location note / listed area: Sarasota, Florida
