RECENT REVIEW OF OUR CD BY BOSTON MUSIC MAGAZINE,"THE NOISE":
"Beast With 2 Backs is, aside from a Shakespearean reference to sexual intercourse (from Othello, in case anyones curious), a man who refers to himself as Temple and a woman known as DJ Swan. Together, the two produce music thats sort of techno (DJ Swan plays the laptop for beat mixing), sort of hip-hop, sort of Euro-industrial, definitely rock (its got guitars and feedback) and really, really interesting. Somehow, they put all these elements together and come up with some very different, yet accessible, sounds. Their lyrics can be poetic and cryptic (Snap before you fluff my lady, snap before you fluff), and the songs can be fun and danceable as with the guaranteed-to-get-you-moving, almost techno Talking Heads-ish Pharmacy of Self-Esteem. Temples voice in this wry commentary about mood-altering pharmaceuticals reminds me of David Byrne. In other songs, like the more haunting and poetically political Hungry Brother, his vocals are somewhat operatic and distant. Each song has a different mood and there is sonically something new to discover during each listen. The lyrics keep the mind occupied while the sound takes the soul on a journey. There is nothing boring here. The production, by the way, is outstanding. I am captivated. (Robin Umbley)"

Beastwith2Backs is a new Dance-Rock duo from Western Massachussetts. The band features DJ Swan on Powerbook/Midi keyboards and Temple on guitar and vocals. On stage, DJ Swan mixes the beats, guitar licks and effects with Ableton Live software while Temple plays and sings. The songs are not pre-programmed, but are mixed live so that every set is 100% fresh. Beastwith2Backs make all their own beats and sounds from scratch using Battery, Reason, Ableton Live, and Garritan Personal Orchestra.

What an incredible show last night! My mind is totally blown. You guys took me to another world, kinda dark, a little kinky and so frak'in rocking! As Robin Umbley said in that spot-on review "I am captivated."
Safe travels Temple. Swan, keep rock'in those beats.
