I was lounging back in the sofa surfing the channels and landed on HD Net where I was immediately mezmerized by seeing these blue guys playing awesome rythyms on these tubes that looked like PVC pipe. They were also doing sort of a comedy routine with them, taking them apart, putting them back together in a new configuration to make new sounds. Then they had this video screen come on and a guy claiming to be a relative of Ron Pullpeel (Pocket Fisherman guy), the commercial was for the Megastar Rock Show kit version 2.0. Then one of the blue dudes made a skit out of ordering one. He selecting "super fast delivery". When it showed up the show became about doing the steps suggested. All through this the band is playing great percussion and interjected a couple songs. I can just write and write about all they done from throwing things to the audience to pulling a couple on stage to put a T-shirt on them and squirting what I think was paint balls on them. These guys are the next evolution in concert entertainment. They did killer covers of Pink Floyd's, Run and The Who's, Baba O'Reilly. On the Who song the synthesizer part was done by the rythym played on the tubes, it was very cool. This is one band who you might want to seek the DVD instead of CD.
I've heard their name before but nothing of their music or what they do. I was blown away, I can't remember any other concert video getting me so into it.
