Ted Parsons

Ted Parsons is an American drummer.

He served as the backbone for some of New York City's, and the world's, foremost industrial and industrial metal bands for more than two decades.

Biography

Parsons' early career began in 1985 with Swans, when he contributed to their "Holy Money" album. He left Swans in 1987 and joined guitarist Tommy Victor's fledgling Prong. Prong would be Parsons' main project until the group disbanded in 1996. He then started a long-standing friendship with UK composer Justin Broadrick, playing on Godflesh's 1996 tour and their album, "Hymns". Parsons has also played in Of Cabbages and Kings with former Swans bandmate Algis Kizys and was a one-time member of Foetus touring band.

Over the years, he has also recorded with members of Public Image, Legendary Pink Dots and Killing Joke, some of whom appear on his recent NIC remix project album.

Parsons is currently a member of Broadrick's Jesu project, and has his own dub group, Teledubgnosis.

Ted Parsons now live in Oslo Norway, where he is married and has two children. There he plays in N.I.C and works as a drum teacher.

( Trivia note -- Ted attended Art College at The Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York with "Eightball" author, Daniel Clowes.)
