Band Bio: 1998 - Kevin Hufnagel calls Clayton Ingerson...says he has some riffs he wants to show him. A few riffs turn into 5 or 6 songs. We begin auditioning drummers to no success.
1999 - Dysrhythmia is born. Drummer Jeff Eber is found through a psychic dream. We play our first show ever, in Philadelphia, PA, at the legendary Stalag 13 with Discordance Axis, and Ruins. Purchase a used van for $1,000 and begin to think about touring.
2000 - Our first record 'Contradiction' is self-released and limited to 500 copies. Recorded on 16 track analog reel-to-reel in a basement in South Jersey over two weekends. Embark on our first DIY tour. Continue playing to the same 5 people in Philadelphia.
2001- Record album number two, 'No Interference'. Tour with the infamous Overlords of the Underworld. Release a split 10" with misunderstood musical outcasts, xthoughtstreamsx. Continue playing to the same 5 people in Philadelphia.
2002 - Record a split 7" with Technician, complete with a sheet lead cover and rubber gloves stuffed inside for the consumer's protection. Tour our asses off. Attract the attention of Relapse Records. Sign to Relapse.
2003 - Record album number three, 'Pretest', with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio Studio B in Chicago, IL. Tour, tour, tour. This time with the likes of labelmates Mastodon, Cephalic Carnage, Burnt by the Sun, and more.
2004 - Continue touring in support of 'Pretest', doing dates with Clutch, Mastodon, High on Fire, Zeke and others along the way. New material begins to develop yet bassist Clayton Ingerson eventually leaves the band. Colin Marston enters. Dysrhythmia continue on, writing and now rehearsing in Brooklyn at Colin's studio while Kevin makes trips up from Philadelphia and Jeff down from Boston. All for the love of the instrumental rock.
