Tim Murphy

Tim is probably best remembered as front man for '80s punk-metal sensation "Chemically Induced Psychosis" whose "hit" song "Blunt Force Trauma" climbed to number 579 on Billboard's "Obscure, Not-Quite-Adult-Alternative-Grunge-Metal" Chart. Following the band's demise, Murph created a string of performance pieces. Welfare reform and curtailment of government funding for the arts caused him to rethink his "artistic direction". Murph's participation in Community Theater represents that new direction, what he terms: "alternative conformity".
