Joshua Haas (bass), Heather Haas-Prestridge (vocals), and Kelly Prestridge (drums), joined forces in 2007 and started laying […]
EOTO
by Joel Center Although I was instantly attracted to both the concept and the music of electronic duo EOTO, I was skeptical, at first, that the band would be able to continue touring for long, due to the fact that each note in every show is one hundred percent improvised.
