Thanks, Jens. The first time I saw them on Youtube, via my good stereo system, they immediately struck a wacky chord that I can relate to, and their audience impact was evident even in that format, plus all the attributes stated. Their instruments have been widely discussed on the forums. Glad they made it to the ITG and hopefully will have more North American appearances to widen their "cult following".
