That's basically my POV as well, although "novelty act" might be a little stronger than I'd put it. "Entertainment" would be my word of choice, I suppose. And yeah, technically, most impressive. As somebody who would love to sing like a pro but can't, I have an abiding fascination for people who can really use their voices as an instrument, be it to deliver lyrics, interpret melodies, simulate instruments, or anything. I can't even begin to do it myself, and I am jealous!
Thanks for all the other info. I had no idea that they had been around for so long, or that they had such a stylistically diverse career path. Once again, the gurus of the O-Board come through!
Now - do they have any sexy album covers?
