Sounds Like...mostly ourselves, since we are the only viola & bass clarinet duo; at times there are similarities to Sequentia, Ensemble P.A.N., Hesperus, Phønix, Kronos Quartet, Tingstad & Rumbel, Rachel's and Oregon. Let us know of whom we remind you! We are told that we usually sound like more than two people playing at any given time. http://www.buymusichere.net/rel/v2_viewupc.php?storenr=20&upc=78370734370&pt=1

Howdy! Just letting our Boise MySpace friends know... The Invasion will be playing their first show at the VAC on Wednesday with Le Fleur, The Universal, and The Neon Trees.
This is one of the best local lineups, and we've heard great things about the sound in the VAC!
