The core of the Illogistical Resource Dept. consists of Dan Menapace and Noa Oz who have been playing together in various projects for nearly 12 years. Both were in earlier projects where they opened for John Taylor and Spock’s Beard as well as members of Death Angel and Agent Orange. In 2012 the pair of players recruited guitarist Jim Harris which completed the lineup of the Illogistical Resource Dept. While not afraid to take chances, the I.R.D. takes instrumental music into new territory by not only blending styles and genres, but by creating a form of experimental music that’s easily accessible.
