Testimonials: 

...the music was substantial: a riotous shotgun wedding of rich orchestrations and complex arrangements with the rock-oriented pleasures of flamboyant posturing and excessive volume, Mr. Coale’s fuzz-pedal bass lines and the bombastic precision of Ted Poor’s drumming. Where the two sides came closest together — as when Mr. Dancigers, Mohawk-coiffed and wearing a “Classical Music Is Dead” T-shirt, piloted a dive-bombing guitar solo into a plush thicket of horns — the results were irresistible." - The New York Times

--William Brittelle blew out his voice during a gig with his postpunk band The Blondes some years ago, effectively ending his career as a lead singer. But rather than throwing in the towel, Brittelle developed Mohair Time Warp, in which he lip-synchs his studio recorded, multitracked vocals over a stellar live band that includes members of Anti-Social Music and other new-music luminaries. Brittelle's crafty, catchy music taps ino the best of what Frank Zappa's oeuvre has to offer, while his surrealist lyrics suggest a copy of Roget's Thesarus, the complete Allen Ginsberg, and a Taco Bell menu fed into Cuisinart. Factor in Brittelle's charisma, and the results are completely electrifying." -Time Out New York

If you like Sufjan Stevens but wished his palette was brighter and more extensive, Brittelle might be your guy. It's like XTC in residence at the BAM. A little night music meets Night Ranger in the forgotten dressing room of the university black box theatre of the soul." - Alex V. Cook from Badasses of Contemporary Composition

[William Brittelle] is taking bits of rock and classical and mixing it all together...with alarming speed." - New Sounds, WNYC
