They are a band that is difficult to put a finger on, combining elements of hardcore, emo, electronica, metal, screamo, all blended with a seriously offbeat sense of humor. Is it truly ingrained in my tastes? No, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued by this bizarre act. I read that they had dropped off a tour due to some divine Chicago pizza which inspired them to record an EP called Pizza with pizza-centric tunes, rather odd if you ask me. That doesn't even get into the dude who arrives onstage in a fried egg suit playing a trangle, and reappears later as a slice of pizza.

Whatever you make of them, there is something quite endearing to watching them live. The music fits together rather like a jigsaw puzzle, a collection of oddly shaped pieces which fit together to form a larger picture, that is part noise and part slice of brilliance. From the great keyboard sounds, to solid drumming, the the centerpiece that pulls everything together, the General. I had listened to the tracks on their Myspace page, which amounted to my entire experience with the band, so nothing they played sounded all that familiar, but I found it easy to get into the grooves. Are they the greatest band? No, but they are a band that has a unique take on what they are doing.

Overall, the show was decent, it had its high and low points. There was good music, bad music, and music I was indifferent to, combining to make a mediocre night of music. Still, it was a night filled with live music, and a night like that can never be all bad.
