...Lewis Carroll were alive and throwing house parties, Think Tree would be his band of choice. Formed in 1987, the band consists of vocalist Peter Moore, guitarist Will Ragano, electronic drummer and percussionist Jeff Biegert, and two, count em, two guys on synthesizers, samples, and vocorders, Paul Lanctot and Krishna Venkatesh...
