Live Show – Dec. 1st at The Grotto – The Diabolical Machines open for RoomFour and The Breakfast Machine

Holy geez, y’all – do we have an exciting announcement for you! We’re pumped to announce our first live show – on Saturday, December 1st, we’re opening for RoomFour and The Breakfast Machine at The Grotto here in Fort Worth! Yes! RoomFour is a cool Dallas-based indie pop duo and The Breakfast Machine is the kick-ass Arlington-based group that we’ve been fans of for a while now and who recently won “Best Female Vocalist” from the Fort Worth Weekly.

This is super amazing – we’re so excited to be opening for these great bands! Festivities kick off at 10:00 at the Grotto on University.

Meet the Stylophone

This is a Stylophone. It’s a miniature analog synthesizer invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis. It’s played with an attached stylus on the metal keyboard. It has a…let’s say “unique” sound.

Various musicians and bands have used the Stylophone over the years – David Bowie, Kraftwerk, and They Might Be Giants are just a few notable Stylophone players. And now, so are we. Our next song features a Stylophone solo. How could we not use this awesome little thing?
