still a dream for now
The band, lead by insolent 32 year old frontwoman, white pigtails flailing, tore up the stage with intense fury and a wall of experimental noise that could only be described as a once-in-a-lifetime journey through time and space. Playing well past the 11pm curfew set for this all-ages festival, this was one show that will go down as a pivotal event in the history of American music. Not since 1991 breathed new life into us all, and 22 year old kids in flannel took Whitney Houston off the top of the charts and deposited her upside down on her head, replaced with gnarly, heart wrenching power chords and a whole new outlook of hope, has an entire scene taken us all over by storm like this, leaving a deep tangible divide between the people who "get it" and the squares who do not.

This show description hardly sounds like the same band as, and I quote "lead vocals en Francais. Hip-Hop, trance, and scads of other electronica use this technique to marvelous effect. Especially if the singer is female, and french (sic) is not her native toungue. Perfection! I want to do a bit of this in my band"
It sounds more like the happy-sunshine-sunny-summer-funday band I want you to be in with me!
