Their live sets are tight but instinctively fun, and their recordings bottle that energy, taking on colourings from concise experiments. The Austin band still identify as a duo, songs built around the gawkily twinned vocals of Falcon Bitch and Schmoofy (fka Gumball), who on stage take it in turns to play drummer and guitarist. More recently, bassist Nicole Roman-Johnston has rounded out the live sound, and also brings some joyful moments to EELS, the band's second album.
