CREEPY CIRCUS TESLA COIL MUSIC

Today's song has a lot going for it:
  1. It's a "Creepy Circus Song"
  2. The melody is played on Tesla coils*
  3. Robot drums
  4. Robot organ made of PVC pipes
Strangely enough, this is the second Austin, Texas-based Tesla coil music group we've featured here. The Geek Group was covered awhile back. Same group with a name change? Or does Austin have some kind of crazy Tesla-core scene going on that I don't know about?

*"
These high tech machines produce an electrical arc similar to a continuous lightning bolt which put out a crisply distorted square wave sound reminiscent of the early days of synthesizers."

Granted, DigitalAmputee could obviously give a definitive answer, but the Diprima's were involved in the Geek Group one and are the engineer of the coil/developers of music for this one. [Former Kalamazoo-area represents on M4M!]

Ah, thanks Josh, I figured you might know a bit about this.

DigitalAmputee: cool name! And thanks for dropping in. I'm alwasy happy to hear from the artists I write about. Doesn't happen often enough. (Feel free to come to Los Angeles - your show looks spectacular.)

Hey guys, thanks for the post. Josh is correct in his statement. We're originally from Kalamazoo. We moved here a few years back. We actually developed the first singing tesla coils in Austin shortly after I moved here.

As far as playing in LA, it shall be done! Let me know if you have a venue in mind that you think can accommodate us (60x60 square feet) and we'll try to make it happen at the end of this year or early next.
