"Last spring, David Eaton was walking through downtown Portland when he heard “an enchanting musical ruckus” that “invited me to join an entranced crowd of tourists, mall rats and street people, equally feasting on the interactive musical banquet of All The Apparatus.” A Los Angeles music producer, Eaton has worked with such acts as The Polyphonic Spree and Mojo Nixon. Now he’s gearing up to produce the second album by All The Apparatus, “the most intriguing band I have met since producing The Polyphonic Spree.” Eaton says ATA’s wacky, manic members create “a world of perplexing caricatures wielding unlikely instruments – ukuleles, accordions and tuned PVC pipes struck by flip-flops – to create groovy, memorable songs of villainy, tragedy and sacrificed innocence.” If you’ve been near Pioneer Courthouse Square on a Saturday night, you may have had a similar experience with All The Apparatus, an 11-member band whose members moved to Portland from Hawaii in December 2009. To hear them is to see the football team uniting with the glee club in song, to witness the joy of souls about to be released from Purgatory into Heaven, to experience theater as life and life as theater. While a lot of musicians busk now and then, few have made playing in the street their modus vivendi to the extent All The Apparatus has. After watching them, you wonder why more bands don’t do this – there’s no burly bouncers kicking out unruly patrons, no club owners arguing with the group over its fee, no division between folks who can and cannot drink booze, no restrictions other than the laws governing what happens on our streets." - The Portland Tribune
