About

There are multiple artists named Rope: 1) a trio from Poland/Chicago; 2) an act from Berlin, Germany formed in 1996; 3) a band from Brighton, UK; 4) an electronic ambient act from North England, UK; 5) a band from Brooklyn, NY formed in 2007. 6) Grime/Bass producer from Bristol, UK. 7) British post-punk band. 8) Black/Death Metal/Crust from Québec. 1) Rope is an electro-acoustic trio comprised of Przemyslaw Chris Drazek on guitar and trumpet, Robert Iwanik on electric bass and vocals, and Michael Kendrick on drums. Drazek and Iwanik were originally in a band called Krzycz but left after a few releases and a tour because they were bored with the material: noise rock/sludge. In 1998, the duo then formed Rope in their small village in Poland and later recorded an EP, Fever, in Warsaw. Influenced by bands on Amphetamine Reptile and Touch & Go, the band began playing splintered post-hardcore, but soon shifted to more drone-based, psychedelic material reminiscent of Swans, Current 93, or Nick Cave. In 2000, they sold everything they owned and moved to Chicago to be part of the city's thriving experimental scene. Rope acquired drummer Mike Kendrick, began touring, and wrote material for a new album. The EP 'Fever' then saw it's American release on Family Vineyard in 2002, as did their two LPs 'Widow's First Dawn' and 'Heresy, And Then Nothing But Tears'. Rope disbanded in 2007. Drazek and Kendrick now perform in the Chicago-based Mako Sica.
