The "Muthafu**in'" Tracks!
Who said folk music was tame?
Came upon this band, the Tracks, playing an in-store at a used bookstore. I was walking by and I heard this cacophonous din and I look inside and there's people with masks on with a girl on the mic repeatedly yelling, "We're the Muthafuckin' Tracks!"
Beside the spectacle, they pretty much had a standard folk set up (guitars, paired down drum kit) along with some bells and whistles. (and a toy piano!) Although there were a bunch of people that seemed involved only two of them really touched any instruments. At the end of it all, it was reminiscent of a really primitive Animal Collective, or a more tongue-in-cheek CocoRosie.
Afterward they handed out some CDRs to the crowd. All that was on it was one track, Sorry Scenes (right click to download), and a JPEG of them doing their best Knife impression.
