Told ya that geeks rock out. A reader pumps up his friend Paul's prog-rock band:

So you featured "Five Easy Peices", and the next day at the same place (i.e Quarternote in Sunnyvale on Saturday) a band called Fractal are headlining. Paul Strong of eBay, Nic Roozeboom of Phillips Semiconductor, Jim Mallonee of BMC Software and Josh Friedman (a professional musician!). Fractal has more hi-tech microprocessor controlled gear on stage than you can shake a light- saber at.... wires everywhere, no-one else gigs with this much gear. Check out http://www.myspace.com/fractalcontinuum [Warning: auto-play music] for sounds and links to gigs.

None of Fractal's peices could be called easy; it's complex progressive/experimental rock.
