Their music is vaguely like that of the Unicorns, but more inspired by surf rock or sea shanties. Their official line on this is "calypso", which also sounds awfully nautical, though I don't know the correct definition of that term. In addition to the usual instruments, there are violins, keyboards, a recorder, and a bass clarinet [!]. There is also a short rap break in which guests (from Th' Corn Gangg collaborators?) join them. All in all, the set is quality quirkrock with a fair bit of danceability strewn throughout.
Contrary to the screams of the awesome dude behind me, they do not play "Love Jams". They do, however, have an encore in which the audience is invited to join them on the stage for a dance party. It's hard to tell whether the request was sincere, but the fans oblige. Their enthusiasm for busting moves along apparently busts up some mission critical equipment, which causes the band to abort the rest of the encore. The fans yelling for "Swans" will have to wait until next time.
