Sounds Like: "Apperently the weirdos were coming out of the woodwork in Albany this weekend. I met this squirrely bunch of dudes a few days prior to the show and after talking for about a half hour about their music, I still had no idea what to expect. I have always had a real soft spot for bands who think way outside the box. And the further the better. But the problem with most experimental bands is that so many of them lose sight of what it is they are trying to do…namely make music that’s appealing to the ears. There is a fine line between eccentric brilliance and annoying random noise bands, and The Moby Strip showed that they can navigate these troubled and murky waters with a kind of sheepish confidence. What really sets this 6 piece apart from most other experimental indie bands is the addition of their percussionist. Straying away from the afro-cuban standbys of most perc-kits, these guys incorporated a full set of chamber bells housed in a homemade resonant enclosure, alongside a djembe drum, and a blue-man-esque array of PVC pipes, cut to length, and played with a set of foam-rubber pads duct taped to a pair of flip flops."-Nick Le Fanu, Emergenza Music Festival, Feb. 2nd 2007.
