:One "mum" just swung thru San Francisco and was a 4-member deal I went to the LA show last Thursday. I sorta like their recorded stuff, and I thought I'd check 'em out, especially with the hype they were getting on the list the week previous. The show was decent, but I don't understand why so many people on this list were so big on them. They hardly used any electronics. Accordian, cello, drums, guitar, bass, assorted plastic toy breath-controlled keyboards. In a live context, the music has more of a goth/darkwave appeal than anything else. The girls seemed very unsure of their vocal abilities, although that very easily could've been a monitor/mixing thing.
