Dubya Tee Eff is a new band with three of the members from Ann Arbor Surf-Psych Band Tokyo Sexwhale. The above video is from their very first show under the new moniker. Whereas Tokyo Sexwhale was heavily surf based, often reinterpreting surf standards, Dubya Tee Eff is more of a free form jam. Basically they just pick a key and progression and run with it. The set was basically 2 long sprawling songs. I know I know, it sounds like it would be very boring but the set was quite the contrary. They have enough equipment and effects pedals to keep everything interesting. You can tell that this is a group that has been playing together for quite a long time. Every nuance and note is contingent on the feel of what the other people are doing. Really a cool idea, really a cool band. Unfortunately, Dubya Tee Eff doesn't have an official contact page yet, but I'm sure you can get to them through the linked Tokyo Sexwhale facebook above.
