Think of a Name - [excerpt, part 1]

Think of a Name - [excerpt, part 2]

A special tenth anniversary show for this Niagara-based unit saw them gathering on Del Stephen's home turf for a reunion. One gets the sense that this group (some of whose original adventures are documented over on Vacancy's bandcamp) was assembled to have enough of the appearance of a "rock" band to be able to backdoor into some gigs, though their sonic concerns certainly aren't so limited. One also gets the sense that some youthful naive enthusiasm has been replaced by elder canniness, but for this night there was still a sense of friends hanging out and making discoveries about the possibilities within sounds.

For this occasion, the group consisted of Del Stephen (keys + drumpad), Jeffrey Sinibaldi (tapes, samplers, fx, etc.), Ken Brennan (guitar, synth), Adrian D'avirro (bass) as well as the not-physically-present Julian Anderson (poems, projections).
