Ben Neill's XIX, Robbie Fulks October 26, 2007

Ben Neill is a composer, performer, producer and inventor of the "mutantrumpet," an electro-acoustic instrument. Neill's current project is XIX, a band with Neill on mutantrumpet/electronics, Mimi Goese (Moby, Mimi, Hugo Largo) on vocals, interactive video by Bill Jones, John Conte on bass, and Jim Mussen on drums. The songs are all based on samples of nineteenth century music which have been extremely mutated digitally.

Robbie Fulks performs with a warm, wry and witty style, punctuating several songs with startlingly fast and fluid guitar solos that recalled prime Chet Atkins.
