What a bunch of Freaks. I’ve seen them live once I remember that all the time I was altering between smiling weirdly and shaking my head uncomprehendingly.
This is music for people who want to be more than just entertained. This is the affirmation of the thesis that music can indeed be art. The trio can’t be put into a drawer no matter how wide. Sometimes they combine polka rhythms with mad guitar work, sometimes they sound like the soundtrack to a film noir whose scenery is laid in a circus. The organ sounds really spooky sometimes and the lyrics seem to be almost as weird as the music.
I think this is the closest I can get to a description, but I can assure you that at least to me seeing them live was close to a revelation. What a coincidence that they are about to come on tour to Europe right now… Up the nerds!
