Bob Drake Biography

Bob Drake is one of the most popular and richest Engineer who was born on December 6, 1957 in Cleveland, Ohio, United States.

Bob Drake (born December 6, 1957) is an American multi-instrumentalist musician and recording engineer. He was a founding member of the avant-rock band Thinking Plague in the early 1980s, and a member of the 5uu’s, Hail and The Science Group (with Chris Cutler, Stevan Kovacs Tickmayer and Fred Frith). He formed his own band, Bob Drake’s Cabinet of Curiosities in 2007. Drake’s engineering credits include mainstream artists like Ice Cube, Tina Turner and Engelbert Humperdinck.

Drake experimented with recording techniques and “warped rock”, but soon found that no one was interested in “new and strange music” in his rural Midwestern home town. He moved to Denver, Colorado in 1978 where he worked for a while as a sound engineer on B horror movie sets. He also spent time recording local underground bands and playing bass guitar and drums with some of them. Drake put an advertisement at a local music store requesting a guitar player “into Henry Cow, Yes …”, and met up with experimental rock guitarist and composer Mike Johnson. Drake and Johnson played in a few cover bands before forming Thinking Plague in 1982. By 1990 Thinking Plague had recorded three albums and established a name for themselves in progressive circles.

Henry Cow also had a big influence on him: “[T]hey were doing something I felt was a lot closer to what I was imagining I’d like to do – ‘complex’ intricate songs and arrangements, noisy things going on which fit organically in the music, and less emphasis on ‘perfect’ studio overcooked impersonal perfection.”
