A British glam-rock band. 4. An electronica artist. 1: An American Rock 'N Roll/Punk band founded by singer/lyricist Jim Nobodie in 2009.

After about two years of playing with the first incarnation (the band on 404) it was shortly disbanded but later reformed in 2011 with a heavier sound and stronger line up. Now ABaCuS is poised to take the world by storm, leaving whatever stands in their way broken and mangled. With their "take no prisoners" attitude, they are surely a band to reckoned with. "What have we got to lose?" was Jim Nobodie's response when asked, "why?"

2: A German band formed in 1971 who made their breakthrough at the Germersheim rock festival, where ABACUS drew no less applause from the 300,000 visitors than PINK FLOYD, SANTANA or ELP who appeared on stage as well. J?rgen Wimpelberg plays keyboards, guitars, drum programming as well as handling vocal duties.

After a lengthy absence from the recording scene, "Fire Behind Bars" was released in 2001. They develop Pop melodies into a wide instrumental manner, with gorgeous neo-classical and symphonic sequences. In a vein near GENESIS, GREENSLADE or PINK FLOYD. ABACUS offers a modern and attractive Progressive Rock music.

3: A British glam rock band.

4: Spencer Stephenson, a young multi-instrumentalist and sample-based producer operating in Denton, TX. He plays drums/writes music with Denton band, Sleep Whale, of the Austin-based label Western Vinyl.
