Anybody heard of these guys?

Hi all-
It has more of an M300 profile from the side, but not quite. I don't think it's an M400. It's probably an organ of some kind.
The band sucks. The emcee looks like the basis for Larry "Bud" Melman of David Letterman fame.
So there.

I don't see them listed on Andy's site, but that sure looks like a 400 or reasonable facsimile to me (though I can't say I hear one).

(warning: it's pretty dire, so you might want to mute the sound)

I don't think it looks like a mellotron either but I quite enjoyed the video.

I suppose it does have a certain... something. Apart from the visuals and the sound, I suppose it's quite good.

As for the instrument, yeah looking again I guess the slots in the back panel should've been a giveaway, and the slope on the lower front isn't quite right. Perhaps it was the white that threw me off.

Sorry if it was a bit of a red herring, but hope you all had a good giggle over it.

It looks more like a white painted Hammond L100, with a Pianet T on top.
Same as Tony Banks'.
