in happier news, this Stuck tune ("freak frequency"), caught my ear on the college radio station the other day. on re-listening, it's maybe a little rote, but it's pretty good!

Saw Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamps live last in Washington DC. They were fun. A few folks had mentioned their 2018 album on other threads. They’re a 12 piece from Geneva, Switzerland with a singer / violinist, a horn section, a cello player, 2 percussionists, 2 marimba players ( or was that one xylophone and one vibraphone), electric guitar and electric bass, acoustic bass.
Sounded kinda like Stereolab meets A Certain Ratio and Pigbag plus an occasional bit of European and Brit folk

saw them Sunday, great set to a too small crowd at Pioneer Works. would add a bit of Kleenex/Lilliput and Anne Clark.
playing barbès in Brooklyn on Thursday, don't know how you fit 12 pieces with 2 drummers and 2 marimbas in that tiny room.

There were about 50 people on the backyard lawn at Rhizome in DC last night. Yep, I went to Barbes in Brooklyn once and it is small. Wonder how they will do it. I heard a bandmember explain last night to someone after the show that they didn't try to bring the marimba on the plane, they borrowed one in NYC.

New R.M.F.C. album drops today. Their previous "The Hive" comp was one of my favorite Devo-esque, garage-punk albums of recent years:
