Obedient E. Dendrite
Coolness B. Shrink
Reminisced V. Pampas

I've been trying to find a gig or album by the maddeningly elusive band The Exotics since I heard them on PBS a while back: now they have a show on Saturday night, but we're having friends over and I can't go. Is it old-fashioned of me to expect that they'd have a web site or something?

seeing as I've just bought my first set of tickets to part of a symphony orchestra season - three shows, cheap seats - maybe it is. maybe these days it's cool not to be online, and I'm just too over-40 to know that.
