CHRIS "CRISPY" FACHINI
AND THE ROCK BOX SOUND SYSTEM PLAY THE MENTAL MACHINE
Detroit sound artist Christopher Fachini has spent the last
four years working on a solo project called "The Mental Machine," which
premiered at MOCAD's grand opening in October, 2006. Fachini's
performances, inspired by the rebellious energy of dub reggae
music associated with Jamaican independence, are set against
the Rock Box Sound System. Fachini was described by Chris Handyside
of the Detroit Metro Times as "one of Detroit's truly
under-appreciated musical talents" with an "ear for the essence
of Motown, Phil Spector, the Beach Boys and old soul pop music."

the video.
