More from the San Francisco scene, if you haven�t already, you should check out live electrofunk duo Cybrid. As explained on their website, Cybrid are exploring the interface between man/machine improvised live electronic performance, noise manipulation, feedback loops, melodic content, and funky electro beats. They�ve done some wicked-good performances, and are always a blast to see live. You can check out some streaming performances of their live shows here.


Also, a follow up to my earlier post on Emperor Norton artist, Mount Sims. After thoroughly listening to their new album, Ultra Sex I�m convinced it's goooood. As one person put it, imagine the sexual aggressiveness of early Prince backed up, not by The Revolution, but by 8-bit Nintendos instead. Or perhaps Green Velvet with the techno turned down and the funk pitched up. Erotic and robotic, UltraSex is a rough-around-the-edges, sweet-in-the-middle and funky-through-and-through kind of album. Worth checking out.
