If there is a recipe for making great music, DISBAND does not know it. They throw the eggshells in with the yolk and albumen, they pour turpentine into that bowl, they mix it with sadness and sweetness, bake it in the oven at a thousand degrees, sear it, broil it, chill it, re-heat it, and serve it up to audiences with toothpicks stuck through saran wrap for ease and convenience. When they are done the kitchen is a mess, and they like it that way.

 

10pm – Guess and Check
