[@billysobolik]

I figured for the longest time that this band was a bunch of 40-something-year old seasoned former jazz musicians who decided to get to get togther and drop some alternative experimental rock, but to my shock, found out they were younger than I am. They are insanely advanced musicians and you can tell they've spent nearly every day of their lives playing some capacity.

@@bl00df4rt If you like the madcap carnival parts the most, start with Hellfire (album #3). If you like the mathier, jazzier, more left-field parts the most, start with Schlagenheim (album #1).

Rumour has it one time Oloff was sat next to Jar Jar Binks on a flight. Jar Jar kept kicking the chair in front of him and generally being obnoxious, nobody knew what to do. Eventually one of the flight attendants came over and asked Oloff if he would perform one of his songs to calm Jar Jar down, and when Oloff began rapping the first verse to Doing It Stealthy, Jar Jar immediately relaxed. To this day the two are still close friends.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

The aggressive attempts to mosh in parts of the audience are by far the most genuinely 'kooky' thing here. Got a great laugh out of the gurning and angry facial expressions.
