Speaking of the subway, one of their longest-running gigs is in the Union Square subway station, as part of the Music Under New York program. They've also toured the world, and Ropeadope Records just released their first full-length album. They're making a stop in Richmond on Friday night at Balliceaux; before that happens, they'll do a live set on this week's edition of Global A Go-Go.
A podcast of today's program will be available soon at http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/series/Global+A+Go-Go.
