Excerpt from the concept album "SID€SHOW 2" [Release date: May 29 2020]

Circus freak-jazz reverie interpolating emotional counterpoints, ambient synth-hop, and disjointed dissonant riffs.
This second "Sideshow" album tells the story of a tormented Two-Headed Kid, a bellicose Giant Fly, and an adorable Dwarf Elephant.
Exposed for their abnormalities, they're not necessarily sad (they get room, board + decent salary).
The intermission act presents the classic crowd-pleaser Bed of Snails.
The two keyboardists alternate dreamy and nightmarish soundscapes over steady yet intricate drum/bass loops. Four musicians improvising live arrangements of character pieces.
"Giant Fly aka Mes Choux Gras aka Metastasis"
