Went to see this fantastic gypsy-jazz-punk band, called Fishtank Ensemble, at this gorgeous little theatre in Mill Valley (a very affluent town in Marin that's chock full of white folk and feels a little Stepford Wives-ish). The band was killer, made up of all these young, hot musicians who play stand-up bass, accordian, Flamenco guitar, this tall crazy red-headed boy who rocked the Japanese Shamisen, this freaking mindblowing violinist dude, and a little chick who played the saw and sang her heart out in Romanian and English. She was rad.
So I will most likely be following them around for awhile, as they are (of course) a Bay Area band. Check out their MySpace page here.
