What was the name of that band on Esplanade last year?

They performed just about every night, I think. They were percussive, using a mix of acoustic and electronic drums. The acoustic drum kit was a vistalite (clear/transparent shells) with lights in them that would trigger each time the drum was hit. They also had a "wall" of electronic drums. I thought they were brilliant. Does anyone know the name of the band and if they perform outside of Burning Man?

hmmm...they were camped next to us, so perhaps i was a bit, uh, overexposed. but in the end i felt like it was lame for them to be basically advertising themselves all week long. i did like the art piece one of the band members did, however, which was out in front, little metal thingies that spun around on long metal arms...that was neat.
