http://bandslikezappa.com/interviews/keith-horn
Super Brain by Ben Sommer. Friday, January 28th, 2011 @ 1:22 am. This week I talk to Keith Horn. 8211; an original and amazing composer and recording artist. Imagine the best of Frank Zappa crossed with Steely Dan and System of a Down. That’s Keith Horn. Enjoy. But for fans of undiscovered music to go and plug in their favorite artist and then every dozen or so tunes that come through a brand new and really unknown person comes out. Basically these artists sign up in a database. I’ve remedied it now.
