About the band: A fully live electronic band, Weird Gear use only elderly analogue synthesisers (mainly from between 1973-1985), drum machines and efx pedals. They employ elementary mathematical and scientific principles to create their work - with a view to create an almost computerised music sound totally without the use of computers. And in case anyone else fancies a go at this sort of thang, here are all the nerdy techy details of what went into making their Geek Pop ‘10 set:

Keyboards: Siel Orchestra 2 | Casio CZ-3000 | Korg MS-10 | Korg Microkorg | Korg MiniKorg 700S | Roland Juno 6

Drum Machine: Boss DR-202 Groovebox

Other Items and Effects: Sennheiser E845 Microphones | Arion Stereo Phaser SPH-1 Pedal | Electro Harmonix Small Clone Pedal | DAP Stage Cube SC-12 | Soundstone Phaser Effects Box | Boss RE-1000 Multi Echo Reverb Unit | Boss RCL-10 Compressor Limiter Unit | Alesis Multimix 16 Firewire audio interface / mixing desk | Boss RBF-10 Flanger | and a lot of cables / power supplies / adaptors

This was all recorded to Sony MiniDISC recorder and then converted to MP3 via Creative Wavelabs and edited onto the video images
