Sounds Like: PLOTZ!, the electro-gypsy neotrad-dance band, jams on fast-paced,
intense originals and sideways-groovin, traditional Balkan party
tunes that rock! Mystical, crude, frenetic, beautifully strange yet
inviting rhythms...make you drink beer and dance and sweat...Daniel Rosenboom, trumpets, levitating and playing in tongues, expels
angel and demon alike by way of his ritual horns of gold. Jake
Vossler, guitars, incinerates electric and acoustic guitars alike,
knows all those crazy melodies, and solos like he hit an artery.
Orest Balaban, bass, desperately attempts to keep PLOTZ! grounded in
local space/time, for your safety and enjoyment. Austin Wrinkle,
drumset, dramatically summons forth an assortment of criminally insane
rhythms...rolls them...and smokes 'em.
