Lid 13
 
Lid 13 was formed in 1987 in the backroom of a pizzeria by Thor Eric Salo and David Motley. Over the course of their existence they have worked with various collaborators, using both voice and sound, that have all brought their own unique talents to the group. These guest artists include; Marc DuFour, Nydia Flores, Lisa on Life, Shawn O'Neal, Paula Ramey, Will Sultan III, Jon Summerdrummer & Betty Villarreal. Currently their line up includes Thor Eric Salo providing textural space, beats and other percussive (and concussive) sound, David Motley working turntables, loops and random samples and Marcus Chatman on bass and rhythms.

Lid 13’s improvised and extemporaneous soundscapes and structures are often hypnotic and sometimes disturbing. Collectively, the group has over 200 hours of archived recordings in their library that chronicle their evolution.

The sometimes elusive Lid 13 has performed live at various clubs and private parties in and around Chicago including the Wood Bee Café in the demolished, yet venerable jazz venue, the Bop Shop, Phyllis' Musical Inn and Studio 13, all in the burgeoning Wicker Park area of Chicago. Recently, Lid 13 headlined the 2003 High Mayhem Experimental Music Festival in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Today, the members of Lid 13 are hunkering down in their bunkers toiling towards their next engagement.
