This was the Tee Pee line-up from Death to the Sun but I think for Weirds they were part of Xela Zaid's set. Whatever they were called it was, once again, solid and, once again, completely different from the last show. They had a psych/noise angle but it was much more subdued and wandering than last Saturday's frenetic performance.

Performing as a duo, the Squelchers kept it short and surprisingly sweet. Rat zeroed in on a classical radio station and streamed the music like a choppy pulse, creating blasts of melody that also served as heavy percussion. The vocalist was soulful/ethereal and the interplay between her and Rat was spot on.
