Press Reviews "Fueled by inventively distorted, feedback-laced guitar...drummer Kris Boettigheimer lays down a bouncy minimalist beat, the perfect backdrop for Weber's guitar pyrotechnics." - Rene Spencer Saller, Riverfront Times "...one of the city's most engaging guitar bands, producing glistening drone rock that at its best resembles the brilliant Bedhead...they make beautiful sounds with their guitars...and when they hook into a decent melody, they soar...the wall of melody works." - Randall Roberts, Riverfront Times

Additional Info The set of points with chaotic orbits is called the Julia set for a given function f. Until quite recently the study of iterations and Julia sets has been in a prolonged limbo. No more limbo. 6/2/3 is a new dawn.
