You will be missed, gentlemen masher.

i dunno. my early impression is this is what simon and garfunkel might have sounded like in their early years if they were swedish sisters (hell, they kind of look like simon and garfunkel if they were swedish sisters).

Once he finally sets up some gigs at Minneapolis you had better believe at least a couple of you are going to go. Or I am going to guilt the heck out of you in hopes of making you attend.

Brian Wheat, in Buffalo's famed abandoned Central Terminal, 2011. Also, man, anyone shooting a music video loves to rip off La Blogotheque, huh?

This track shows off Peter Cox' fine vocals; all this torch song is missing is a smoky speakeasy. I had a great week -- thanks for playing along.

And below the break, the composer conducts Princess Mononoke Symphonic Suite (and plays piano), from the movie Princess Mononoke.

There aren't any live videos available of their songs I like the most, but here's a good one from a concert in Sofia, Bulgaria that was recorded for a television special:
