I mean, who wouldn’t love a family band, consisting of mom, dad and 11 year old daughter drumming, dressed in thrift-store chic, and singing songs about slides they’ve procured at flea markets and yard sales, while said slides are being projected on the wall behind them?

Sadly, I’ve never witnessed them do their show live, but last night we watched their DVD Off and On Broadway. It was very good, if a little short. But it included documentary-style footage showing them in everyday life and on tour. Jason Trachtenburg is hilarious in general, and it was cool to find out that Tina Trachtenburg was the brain behind the whole concept, even though she doesn’t normally perform on stage (she’s the one projecting the slides). The onstage footage was also very well filmed and really fun.

Hopefully I’ll get to see them next time they come through town.

In blog news, I cleaned up the Music and MP3 page so stuff isn’t as cluttered and unappealing.
