Basketball; an energetic four piece driven by live electronics, spirited vocals, and massive percussion create an inclusive primal sound that grows into pulsating dance beats. From Tome's vocals in his native tongues, Croatian and English, to the Persian scales, to the gypsy-esque spirit, their live performances, like rituals, induce mass dancing through catharsis, roping bodies into possession with their fierce thumping beats, and sparkling with eastern melodies. Their cargo: drum machines, a constellation of percussion, Turkish zurna, Persian santur, electric guitar, sub upon sub, and voice upon voice. The combination of their sound has drawn comparisons to Modeselektor, Gang Gang Dance, Buraka Som Sistema, The Joker and Tinariwen.
