You can get a good sense of the band by checking out the tracks at MySpace. As Matt notes, it's a real challenge to go to a live band format when you're used to controlling every bit from the console. They have clearly practiced a lot and played enough gigs not only to do a credible job but to have a good stage presence and an enjoyable show. but it's not identikit street fair fodder either :)
