FAQ: What does your name mean?
A: If you close your eyes to reality you hasten your own extinction.

"Buoyed by a drummer, two basses and Sullivan rocking a voice-distorting talk box, their music is staticky synthrock with insistent robotic grooves in the vein of ‘80s funk pioneers Zapp, futuristic electro pioneers Devo and dance-punk faves Crystal Castles and the Faint.” - Alternative Press 

"Also, we have a really good opening band called Kid Is Qual, as in "quality". It's two basses players and a drummer and they play talkboxes like Roger Troutman and Zapp talkboxes, so we have a really killer opening band. We usually don't have opening bands with us on tour, but these guys are special". - Mickey Melchiondo aka Dean Ween - 12/28/11
