and other things..... and blah, blah, blah........
SKITANJA
Amped up to gabba-strength and power. Guitars like Dick Dale on horse-strength steroids – single-mindedly aggressive, spastic and maddened – grating strings near the bridge, putting on the tremolo until it looks the strings might fall off, only changing chords when absolutely necessary. Staccato trumpet blasts, frightening synth blurts, sampled farm noises, razor-sharp guitar shards, sounding not unlike a 10 disc cd changer with ADD, loaded with jazz, gabba, skronk and opera, turned up loud and pushed down the stairs. Focused, deadly, visceral. They are musical pranksters of the first order, playing genres the way lesser men play instruments, slamming together and discarding one idea after another like a reorchestrated John Zorn or The Residents.

Cosmic sensory overload of electro/R&B/pop/outsider free jazz worship! Totally good and totally from Chicago, USA.
