I drove to Milwaukee Wi Sept'2012 to see them.

  • http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2011/06/21/137209270/meet-indie-rocks-most-valuable-sideman - Do you ever wish you could focus on just one thing — like, be the best Baritone Sax player you can be? "Not really — especially not as I've grown up and thought about the way I want to play music, and the kind of music I want to play. A lot of professional sax players will practice 15 hours a day in hopes of being the next Joe Lovano, playing as fast and as complicatedly as possible. I've tried to expand in the other direction. I'm more interested in different timbres and textures and approaches."

For encores they've been playing Burning Down The House and Road To Nowhere - I wish they'd make official releases of those...
