Couple of new videos posted on Youtube--last Fall, Maz and Bryan played taiko with Xzibit (the dude from "Pimp My Ride") for a song called "Concentrate." It's kind of silly, but was fun anyways. The next one is a short clip from our recent performance at Bar Sinister where we bring up people from the audience and improvise with them onstage dancing. Definitely something we won't put in our kids' school show anytime soon. Click here to check it out, if you dare...and of course, in the meantime, our show at the Japan America Theatre is coming up quick!!
First off, mad props to Dave Ibara at OC Auto Wraps for hooking us up with the graphics wrap for our equipment trailer! TP--Coming soon to a freeway near you...
