Definitely interesting. I'd really like to hear it...although i know they
aren't coming to pgh any time soon.
Speaking of live/funk/electro....Chromeo played in pittsburgh the other day.
They played a super fun set of that 80's-style vocal electro (think midnight
star,
afrika bambatta or rockwell) that was pretty well free of the camp of alot
of other acts....
if you see them playing in your area go and dance!
