Buke and Gase for Crossover Prog

The duo consisting of instruments invented by one of the members: a "buke" (six-string baritone ukelele), and a "gase" (guitar/bass hybrid; known as a "gass" on their first album, but changed to avoid mispronunciation). Percussion is handled by the feet of both members. Despite their strange instrumentation, they are definitely rock and certainly proggy. They have one album and two EPs out. A second full-length is going to be released on Jan. 29. Here is their site: http://www.bukeandgase.com/index2.html   Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buke_and_Gase

So far I've only watched the tubes here a couple of times each but will have a further listen to the other stuff tomorrow. First impressions? Weird kinda punky-folk with some odd metres and rhythms but not really adventurous enough for Avant in my opinion. Don't really see them in Eclectic either, I think Crossover might be their only real shot. Hopefully Keishiro will see this and chip in with his thoughts regarding Avant.  

Thanks guys.
