I’ve been listening to The Barenaked Ladies & Great Big Sea a lot the last week, with a little Infinite Taverns mixed in.
Fell back into the Octopus Project discography after stumbling across this semi-recent (3 years ago) video of them doing an old favourite of mine, I Saw the Bright Shinies on the Moog Etherwave Theremin.
They were probably the best live show I ever saw. They were moving around the stage and exchanging instruments among one another during songs in a hypnotic dance. It was really impressive and I’ll never forget it. Also, Yvonne is probably the best and most accurate theremin player I have ever seen.
I saw them with Man or Astro-Man? and since both bands had theremins, the show ended with Dueling Theremins and the fella from MoAM set his on fire during the peak.
