producer dabbling in the UK's vast, eclectic, fast-moving and amorphous "post-dubstep"<br />

cyber-soul sound.<br />

total strangers: Nate Eiesland and Alissa Ricci both grew up in the state before joining<br />

forces with Ryne Estwing and several others in the popular Chicago band Scattered<br />

Trees. After the act suddenly disbanded, Eiesland, Ricci and Estwing started On An On,<br />

changed their musical direction and partly uprooted themselves back to Minneapolis.<br />

Royal City Band in tow to play a few songs.
