Pipe up!

In early April I made one of my regular trips to the House of Targ. All three acts have a toe in the kozmik waters (okay, in the case of Yoo Doo Right it's closer to full-body immersion), but no one will confuse one for the other. Up first were mal/aime, the drone-oriented side project of Pony Girl (a.k.a. Droney Girl). They played a super set at Bar Robo late last year and were just as fine this time around. Here's Julien (with Yolande and Jeff in the background).

Yoo Doo Right played a really fierce set of motorik psych. Here's Justin channelling his inner Jimmy Page.

Pick A Piper bust out the keyboards for some pleasant electronic polyrhythms; mainman Brad Weber also drums for Caribou ... here he is in mid-adjustment!

Also on board are Angus Fraser and Dan Roberts. Not sure if this is Angus or Dan ...
