"Duman'li Gece is a Turkish phrase translated as "smoky night." Its application is often a feature of electronica/indie artists seeking to imbue their work with atmosphere as they develop beat-centric and/or ambient works. In the hands of Silicon Valley-based rock/fusion band Mechanical Turk, Duman'li Gece is a rallying cry for the band's synthesis of Turkish rock traditions and Western sonic textures."
"The band's pan-cultural approach draws as much from Queen and the Beatles as from Mazhar-Fuat-Özkan and Mor ve Ötesi. The resulting sound is as powerful and engaging as it is unique and beguiling. The band's high-energy live show emphasizes the musicians' wide-ranging musical worldview. Mechanical Turk Fri, Jan 30, 9pm, $30-$50 Club Fox, Redwood City"
