If I remember correctly they were one of the opening acts for James Taylor
Quartet, last year, and had quite a interesting collage, upright bass, DJ
playing turntables, doing weird stuff--banging on it while spinning beats,
and such--and a theremin, and a girl fiddling with some very analog looking
stuff, the hardstep beats got to my brother a bit, but I did like collage
of sounds.
