Wow...I wish I was. (Esp. since it's in Holland--my mom's old stomping grounds at Hope College.)

Saw them a couple of weeks ago - quite a lack of variation, dynamics and space to breathe... but hell I liked it! They seem to go for broke all the time, and the music isn't just virtuosic, much of it actually did have something going in there. Drummer Dan Weiss was amazing, playing tabla and half a kit built around the tabla drums, switching to and fro... certainly the finest pale-faced tabla player I've yet witnessed!
