    Holy shit, I just came across these guys yesterday. Was like, fuckin Flying Microtonal Primus meets the Yellow Submarine movie. Had just watched this video no more than four hours ago.

    Best music duo since Death From Above 1979

    Good username, btw.

    Old guy like me thinks everything interesting has been done with a drum and a guitar, and then young guys like this come out of their garage and prove me wrong. I love it!

    The guitarist is reminiscent of young Buckethead. I thought I’m stereotyping based on the outfit, but no: looked at another performance of theirs, and the movements remind me of the bucket man even more. Except this dude isn’t freakishly tall, of course.

    Buckethead can slap the shit outta bass, btw, so they’re both multi-instrumentalists in this regard.

      I thought the same thing! Maybe there’s something about playing in a mask that affects mannerisms?

        Finally remembered that I know a few bands who perform in masks: Mamaleek, Monster Zoku Onsomb, The Berzerker, Boney NEM (probably parodying Tool). Glass Beams were in the recommendations for Angine de Poitrine.

        They all are less restricted in their movement, though Glass Beams are pretty stiff for some reason. But Poitrines’ and Buckethead’s getup is more elaborate in the hat area, which might be a factor. However, I recently learned that Buckethead changes guitars without removing the hat.

    So cool. The performance and looks are a standout, of course. And the music still sounds good to my ears.
