Some ensemble required

From the mighty rock'n'roll power of Camp Radio we got to the mighty noodling psych-poppery of Tres Bien Ensemble. I wonder if they're named after The Beatles' song Michelle (there's actually more than one TBE out there). As mentioned earlier, singer and keyboardist Yawd Sylvester is in Wayne Omaha (and also The Violet Archers). I forgot to mention just about everyone save Weakerthan Greg Smith is also an Omaha vet.

Yawd! A bassist!* Matt James! Greg! You can't see drummer Kirk Hudson because Matt's in the way. Not shown: The PA dying. Maybe Camp Radio killed it.

After some mostly successful PA repair, Jon Bartlett comes on for one of several introductions.

Singalong action with Matt and Greg!

The view from the other end of the keyboard, plus a less-obscured bassist, who I'm now told is Daniel 'Paco' Paquette, not Aaron 'Bass' MacPherson.

Thank you and goodnight!

They seemed quite improvised at times, but definitely in the Wayne Omaha mode.

That's Paco on bass.

I seem to remember communicating with TBE on their membership, but since it was long ago and I can't find the message (stupid Myspace!) I'll take your word for it ...
