  4. Very interesting! Thank you. The band is quite ragged, and sometimes even embarrassingly out of tune. But there are some sublime moments, nevertheless. I hope that the band rehearses a bit more and then cuts an album. Or was this just a one-off thing?

    I do not know if this project will have a following, but I agree with your considerations.
