Like everyone else, I like to keep up on the weekend party plans in San Francisco, which is how I stumbled upon this item about members of The Faint’s new “Euro-friendly DJ/production team” called Depressed Buttons. According to the SF Weekly blog, the team consists of Clark Baechle, Todd Fink and Jacob Thiele, who they refer to as “the three Omaha-based bandmates” — though last I heard, Todd and Orenda still lived in El Lay. The writer goes on to say they’ve “upped the distorted synths and head-knocking dance beats of their previous gig, The Faint.” Previous gig? So who’s that playing at the MAHA Festival this year? “There isn’t much music to hear from the act online, but we’d wager Depressed Buttons bring it like The Faint conducting a rave.” Hmmm… where did I leave those glow-sticks…
