I stumbled upon this video  while perusing the interweb. The first thing I noticed was Brandi's Rickenbacker. Totally SUH-weet! But I digress before I even start.

Woozyhelmet is definitely a band that would be (and has been) featured on KTRU. I introduce them that way ‘cos if you're not a fan of offbeat music, then these guys are right out. If I had to label them I would have to coin a new genre, avant-house party.

My tastes tend to trend towards the fringe, but I’m not above admitting that some of the noise/experimental makes my pyloric valve spasam.That being stated, I'm not sure I understand much when it comes to those things out there, I usually just go with what my gut tells me. For whatever reason, "What Was Dad Talking to Daniel About?" struck my I-dig-it chord. I think its due to the fact that I grew up on Punk, gritty, poorly recorded and very angry.

So, I figured I mosey over to their site to see what they had going on.There's quite a few songs they've put up for one to download at one's leisure. This is great, 'cos if none of it works, one can delete it and be done. Power to the people.

I would definitely recommend you to point your browser to Woozyhelmet.com and give them a try. The music is in the aptly titled music link. Who'd have thunk it.
