MAS Y MAS (in audio and video form)
w/ Cinnamon Band + Loom
First time I saw Mas Y Mas, they were opening for the Silver Jews. The drummer played standing up, the keyboards ranged from cheesy to abrasive, the guitars were played through a PA speaker in lieu of a proper amp, the lyrics were mostly about boredom and scenester minutiae, and there was a superb electro cover of "Buggin' Out" by A Tribe Called Quest. Their lineup has changed a few times and it sounds like they're now a trio. My guess is that their aesthetic concerns continue in the same vein as before: trash(ed) poetics. Or, as Mas Y Mas themselves put it: No Talent No Rhythm No Guts -- We're The Kind Of Band That America Wants.
