Hello, I checked out the Tigerbomb show in SF last weekend. While I was there I saw Lesser and Blectum from Blechdom. Can anybody explain to me the technique that Lesser uses when he "scratches" CD's like a DJ scratching records? I've never heard anything quite like it. Blectum from Blechdom consisted of two indie-rock looking women(young women), one of whom had a guitar (or, at times, a banjo) and the other of whom had a little rythym box. There was quite a lot of singing involved and even a banjo solo. It was a sight to behold, and was received positively by the crowd. The flyer said they were from Oakland (also where I live) but I've never heard of them before so I'm guessing they recently moved out here from somewhere. Can anybody here in SF Bay Area shed some light on them? I must admit that experiencing Lesser was a bit of an ordeal. It was kind of like I would imagine an Atari Teenage Riot concert, but with that CD scratching technique. Also, Kit Clayton's in between set spinning was real good. ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
