About Me

New recordings!

Yep, we're still here, despite the vicious rumors spread by the right-wing media, Us Magazine and The Scientific American. But don't mistake our quietude for laziness. OK, maybe a little bit of that quiet was a well-earned break from our endless touring, but we are now back in the studio finishing up tracks for our new CD. Title and format are yet TBD, but the recordings are, if we do say so ourselves, quite fabulicious. They're coming soon to an ear near you!
