Howdy! Did you know that efd has played "The Bedazzler" by Stag 14 times in the last 5 years. His most played Artist is Bowie with 89 spins? Also that TCM is the most similar show to EFD on WFMU, statistically speaking? Do you care?

I would just like to point out that there are exactly two (2) people in this band.
  9:44pm

That's a lot of freaking noise for two people!

Cooh John:

Quite an intense experience when I logged on. Keep it up! Lotsa energy coming from 2 people. Would like to see a triple bill of duos some day.

Yeah, it is. :) They did have to be done before the noise ordinance kicked in at 10, though.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:57pm

I would just like to point out that the two instruments in this band are drums and bass.

That's right: bass.

Not guitar.

Bass.
  9:58pm
Stevel:

Holy shit. That is all.

Super programming
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:02pm
efd:

@Cooh John I don't know from stringed instruments myself, but I'm sure part of it has to do with the fact that he's playing through two different amps simultaneously.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:02pm
medson:

The Magic Factory strikes again : )
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:05pm
Bootsie:

Wait, What? Bass??
  10:05pm
Stevel:

They sure know how to end a song, much less playing them. Woof!
  10:08pm
Stevel:

Did the bassist use many pedals? Mostly, it seems he's just playing the shit out of it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:08pm
efd:

Mostly the latter, but some of the former.
  10:12pm
Stevel:

Again: Woof!
