Band plays 1 million shows, band gets rabid fanbase, band is about to break...band's co-founder dies. In his early 20s. Totally bums me out, at least. This CD is pretty incredible. This is the kind of indie rock that should define the "genre." Cellos too. Goddamn you half-Japanese girls. get more blurbs here: http://kuci.org/show_feature.cgi?id=797 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Thanks for your support, The KUCI People From doctor at kuci.org Wed Aug 27 13:32:59 2008 From: doctor at kuci.org (Chris Austin ([dj] The Doctor)) Date: Wed Aug 27 13:40:54 2008 Subject: [KUCI News] KUCI News (August 27 - September 2) Online and Financial Privacy, Traffic, Lee "Scratch" Perry In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello friends, We weathered the Olympics pretty well over the past two weeks, and now the political convention season is upon us... sounds like more of the same broadcasting din is on the horizon.

This isn't even mentioning the schizophrenic string sections, which shift from moments of grandiose pleasantness to moments of jagged noise with lots of go between throughout. This is sprawling and engaging and a lot of positive synonyms I can't fully describe until you guys actually listen to it.
