Video Dingbat Episode 2: Pivot

Episode 2 of Video Dingbat features the exciting Sydney band Pivot. There sound is very hard to define but I'd think of it as melodic post rock with a splash of IDM. The best way of course is to listen to it yourself. Pivot members Laurence Pike, Richard Pike, and Adrian Klumpes sit down to discuss topics such as the band's history and sound, managing their various side projects (such as acclaimed experimental trio Triosk), and last years J Award Nomination (that Wolfmother won). We also have some live footage from their March 3rd performance at The Rosemount Hotel in Perth, Western Australia. Special thanks to RTR FM who recorded who recorded the audio for that gig (check out their live stream or tune into FM 92.1 if you're in Perth). What are you waiting for?

The video is formatted for iPod Video but should run perfectly fine on your computer provided you have the latest version of Quicktime, iTunes, VLC, Democracy. You can subscribe to the video feed in the player of your choice using this feed address: http://dingbat.libsyn.com/rss
