The progressive rock band "Discipline." formed in 1987. They gained a following in the Detroit area partly because they perform unusual, original music, and partly due to their strange live shows. Lead singer, Matthew Parmenter, delivers each song in a different costume behind a thick coat of mime's makeup. Discipline. features Jon Preston Bouda on guitar, Mathew Kennedy on bass, and Paul Dzendzel on drums. "Unfolded Like Staircase" (1997) is the band's best known work.
