Just read about them in the Reader.

Sounded like I might like it.

All I know is what is on mySpace.

It's rock-band music that is super chopped-up in the computer, which I'm not usually into, but I like it. Very carefully done.

It's better quiet than it is loud. Which is weird.

That song "Violent Sensation Descends" is kind of diabolical.

Anyway. There you go.

tim,

its weird that you bring them up. i'm going to see them tonight at schubas. i had a friend invite me and at first i was not very interested until i read the description of "Wire and the Zombies" used on a website...

i'd say that 3 out of the 4 songs on their myspace page are very very delicious.

Nice enough. Not keen on the singer dude(s) but the music is certainly interesting. Interesting bass lines too.

they ended up being pretty good live. so good that i may stop by to see them on saturday when they play the hideout, as i expect that setting to be even better for them.

they had a few clunker songs, almost like they're not sure what direction they want to go in...but their songs that resemble the ones on the site were fantastic. and they played one song that i assume is new and it blew me away...

great bass player and they all look and act like normal human beings. no silly posing. the keyboard player looks likes a guy that works at Sears, and not in an ironic way.
