Also look for members of El Dealbreakers making strange noises in all corners of the globe. On the North American front, Schlotzki is performing regularly with Signal Path, and Blanche is keeping it swinging in Montana with Mountain Moongrass. Over in Asia-land, Gino just finished a run with Jerry Joseph, and can be seen soon with The Cambodian Space Project in Australia. Meanwhile in Cambodia, Olaf is engaged in hijinks with The Kampot Playboys and the Durian Funk Band.
