Collider was first formed to perform as part of the Adam Simmons
Retrospective in 2006 and has developed it's own beautiful and unique sound over the last four years. Collider is a band which is co-lead by Adam Simmons and Kynan Robinson. Both Kynan and Adam have built great reputations for both their individual and highly sort after playing styles, featuring in many bands including Aria award winning C.W Stoneking, Ernest Ranglin, Peter Brotzmann, Odean Pope, SkaZZ, Peter Knights 5+2, The Bombay Royale etc. but also for their uncompromising and unique approach to the bands that they individually run. They are both extremely prolific leading very successful ensembles with multiple releases such as The Escalators, Adam Simmons Toy Band, Des Peres, En Rusk, The Adam Simmons Quartet and The Creative Music
Ensemble.
With Collider they have joined forces to create a sound that is at the same time luxuriate and challenging. The integration of Andrea Keeble on Violin and Jason Bunn on viola adds a textural layer that is rarely heard in a jazz context.
Much of the music for Collider has been composed by Adam and Kynan, though there are compositional contributions from the other members as well.
Adam Simmons - Tenor Saxophone
Kynan Robinson - Trombone
Ronnie Ferrella - Drums
Anita Hustus - Bass
Jason Bunn - Viola
Andrea Keeble - Violin
