He is a member of the groups The Weathermen), Hail Mary Mallon (with Rob Sonic & DJ Big Wiz), Two of Every Animal (with Cage) and The Uncluded (with Kimya Dawson). Regarding his name, he said: “I acquired the name Aesop from a movie I had acted in with some friends. It was my character’s name and it sort of stuck. The rock part came later just from throwing it in rhymes.”
