I saw Truffaz at the Knitting Factory in NY a couple of weeks ago and I have
to say a couple of the tracks they were doing were pretty fucking wicked. I
am pretty sceptical of the whole
'let's-appropriate-youth-culture-to-make-our-same-old-shit-exciting'
phenomenon (see david bowie, et al) however the drummer and bassist in
Truffaz' Electric Ladyland Quartet were really fucking amazing. The drummer
going by the name Captain Planet was just really fucking mind blowing and on
top of it. He has this routine where he beatboxes through a megaphone with
a delay strapped to it, looping beats, that was just totally thrilling and
during the bassist's solo the bassist did a similar thing of banging out
beats on the body of his upright and loopin them through a delay and playing
bass over them, really wicked. Cant say too much for Truffaz himself but
that band is serious fat shit, highly reccomended if you get a chance to
catch them live.
