Iron Dog: Stuart Popejoy, bass guitar and Sarah Bernstein, violin, create electronic sound-scapes and shifting distorted textures. The musicians' diverse backgrounds as composers and improvisers in rock, jazz, metal, classical, world and new music are freely synthesized into a transporting sonic experience.

Congratulations on your new bow, Sarah! I can't wait to hear about it. Right now I am nursing a sunburn in Netanya, Israel. Ben and I are going to Jerusalem today. So far, its been a great trip.
Listened to the tunes again. You guys create a dark vibe that truly rules.
Extempore II is badass. Unsettling, intense, and totally out-to-lunch. I love it.
You must come play a show in the Boston area. I'll be there.
Drop a line when you can.
Greg
PS: Stu -- gave Bassoon a closer listen as well. If I haven't already said it, the shit is dope. Tell your boy to add me so I can post all manner of obnoxious comments!
