You can tell by details in its small movements that it's real (and you can hear some mechanical/electric noises in original video I used for this mash-up -- the link to that is in the description). A lot of people thought the last gen Atlas wasn't real, and this special effects crew -- who one time made a very convincing CGI robot -- showed how it was real: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foKUiHifgtyJbbs

I'm not sure if they were the best ever, but at the time, I'd say they were. They put together the band as sort of a joke, quickly became really good, had that gonzo, fun, sold-out show at Harpers Ferry (pre-Brighton Music Hall) where the "opening" acts were put-together bands by each member, and then kind of faded off (which I think coincided with Waltham rock scene generally fading off). I think all this happened without much notice in the local news/music/arts outlets.

@@melodymatters I saw everyone of their shows and did a few New Years Eve parties they had with other Waltham bands. One at the Middle East and other at Harper's Ferry/Brighton Music Hall one other that I can't remember where it was. I follow a lot of local bands and really never saw another all female local rock band. Saw many female fronted bands. If you know one musician from Waltham you end up meeting them all. I had a friend Pat back in the day that promoted an all female rock band Lucky Lady. I only got to see them once maybe twice.

Awww....mucho thanks, although this was a special case of extreme audio editing: the venue was not allowing any "professional" cameras to be brought in, so I brought my little Sony ZV-1, primarily just for photos. I do use the ZV-1 for video when I don't want to deal with my bulky A7S II, and normally use a Tascam TM-2X as the mic. Mostly out of curiosity, I thought to see how the ZV-1 with work without an external mic here and... it was very mixed. But that's one of the reasons we have computers.

Yep.
