Don’t drink the Kool-Aid.This 29-piece “choral symphonic pop band” from Dallas, performing in flowing white robes, boasts a ten-member choir, a pair of keyboardists, a percussionist, bassist, guitarist, flautist, trumpeter, trombonist, violist, a French horn player and a theremin player.
The Polyphonic Spree is lead by former Tripping Daisy band member Tim DeLaughter, who writes the songs, leads the singers and, apparently, spikes the punch.
