break out your eastern european roots kids!
Yes, i know slavic-chic when out in '62 - but it's coming back in a big way! And on the forefront of this craze are A Hawk and a Hacksaw - Check out their one-man-band + violin act. I know we've all seen it before, the old one-man playing the drums and accordion + violin act, but really, this is some crazy stuff. The drummer accordion guy (jeremy, ex-neutral milk hotel) straps an arsenal of music making equiptment on himself and then proceeds to wail with his amped-up accordion something that your great great great great grandfather would have gladly tapped his toe to. The skill of the violinist (heather, ex-foma) pushes the aforementioned wall of sound upward and spins it around until it falls over and lands right on you. bam.
A Hawk and a Hacksaw !
