Television Set? No? Okay--Melville isn't yet? No? Hmm.
Jeez, calm down, it's just a game. All right, try--no,

Tap? Oh, you're DOING pantomime, got it. The

DOUBLE NAUGHT SPY CAR, L.A. Weekly Music Awards Best Instrumental Band of 2002, burst from Tinsletown's contorted psyche to provide underscore for America's descent into an opiated social contract and overt corporate tyranny. In sweat drenched shows harkening back to 1950s jazz clubs, the grinding Telecaster and spasmodic steel of Paul Lacques, the gurgling Stratocaster of Marcus Watkins, the revisionist/reductionist bass of Marc Doten, and the all knowing unyielding drums of Joe Berardi beguile, bewilder, bait, and beatify their audience
-- and all with no pesky vocals or lyrics to water down the twang and throb.
You guys are great. Listen, I'm a songwriter, been with Sony for about a year, first CD will be out in mid-2008, and I'm looking to network with bands I like. Would you ever consider working with a lyricist? I know you do the instrumental thing, respect the integrity, but how far can you take that? I think my Sony cred could work for you guys. Anyway, rock on.
