Leg Warmers Optional

Yeah I hate to sound like a trendoid here, especially when every third dime is rocking leggings these days...but electro-crazies the Juan Maclean rule. On an amazing Arthurfest bill that included Yoko Ono, Spoon, and the amazing reunited-for-a-minute Olivia Tremor Control, these guys held their own. Not just a dude in the DFA lab with a laptop, these guys are an actual band. [I could go on here about how an actual grouping of people banging on shit is more organic and galvanizing than a dude with a laptop, but if you want to read stuff like that peruse some Sound Tribe Sector Nine liner notes and get back to me.]

Powered by Jerry from Maserati attacking various drum pads while the other members bang on shit and tweak knobs, these guys can turn a hilltop in Echo Park in the afternoon into an 80s ESG gig.
