Flying

Friday, April 27, 2007

The Brooklyn band Flying makes surreal, psychedelic music inspired in part by its singer's sculptures, short stories and paintings. The formation of the band is just as unusual: it involves a two-headed dog made out of snow, a paralyzed face, and a bloody bike accident. Flying performs live in our studio. Also, renowned cellist and conductor Mstislav Rostropovich has died. He was 80. We hear an interview with Rostropovich from the Soundcheck archives.
