"Zzziiip bleep bloop baaarrroooiinng!!! The Oblongs are Austin's only Zolo band, spinning out a hyperactive cacophonous sforzando of abstract color. Zany costumes. Head scratching hijinx. No guitars: just synths, sax, and violin ... and lots of spazzing out!!!"

"ZomZoms: While not as complex as Star Patrol's back story of three heroes from a Nintendo game transported to the three-dimensional world to fight an evil invisible entity, Zom Zoms' origin is one of a kind. According to the band's biography on its Web site, "Zom, a retired encyclopedia salesman, met Zoms when he took a job as a pizza delivery driver. Obsessed with the similarity of their first names, the two became fast friends and soon discovered their common love for the musical arts. Beaver sees some familiarity between Zom Zoms and Star Patrol. Both are keyboard and drum machine driven and resemble similar sounding new wave bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s."

they don't seem bad. hey, to all the Ima Robot fans, check out a band called brainiac. There kinda old, but they are good. The members of Enon use to be in Brainiac. Snack Bunny Baby is the best album!

A Violin, Sax, and Keyboards? Sounds interesting to me. Also reminds me I just some guys on Jay Leno last week called "Nothin' But Strings". They were wicked awesome!!
