What's better than a homemade keytar? Well, nothing, if you ask me. And homemade keytars are just the beginning for Noisician Coalition, which prides itself on created hybrid instruments and creating all kinds of noise.
The Noisician Coalition makes it to New Orleans every year for Voodoo, and the 2009 celebration is right around the corner.
Implications - The featured video is an over-acted piece that is comedic and shows the group's skills while playing the Christmas song the Little Drummer Boy. You can't help but laugh at the silly costumes and wild instruments that the band uses. If you can't figure out what to make of them, Noisician Coalition describes their sound as "a marching band side-rolling over an embankment into an oncoming police car, but in a good way."
