Unique and energetic “junk rock” band, Recycled Percussion have been making rock-n-roll music from recycled materials for 20 years. The band gained national fame with their groundbreaking performances on America’s Got Talent, later becoming one of the most successful acts on the Las Vegas strip. Using everyday objects like power tools, ladders, buckets, and trash cans, this high-octane performance is a dynamic mix of rock drumming, guitar smashing, and DJ-spinning, all bended into the recyclable magic of what the band calls “junk music.” Get ready for a musical experience that will have  you clapping your hands and stomping your feet as  you marvel at what can be done musically with some humble materials.
