Holy Fuck!

That's the name of the band I just heard on Radio 3. Really liked the track I heard and liked this descriptive review they posted as an artists' statement:

"...Contains no computers, midi, samplers, sequencers or drum machines. The beats and samples are provided by Casio SK's and other garage sale keyboards. The scratches on the CD are done with a 35 mm film synchronizer which is a piece of film editing equipment that to the best of my knowledge has never been used as a musical instrument. All textures, bleeps and pulsing drones are made with guitar effect pedals. It's a wonderful collection of raw, rich sounds. ...Going from scattered guitar pieces to noises and crashes as melody lines with weird beats that sounds like your standing 2 feet away from a construction site on peyote. ...A must for those who like to be captivated, intrigued and blown the fuck away." -Earshot! Online

Holy Fuck! where you'll find a hot in concert shot.

Radio 3 had the song "Casio Bossa Nova" on.

...she says, busting into a conversation between two electric bassists!

Hey, are you going anywhere in July? I've kinda got a hankering to come to Vermont; maybe with a car. Visiting you and actually travelling with you would be kind of spiffing. A visit to Tash would be in order. Do you have any particular counterindications in your schedule?
