Anyone else heard of this band or listened to them?
I discovered them when I was doing a hunt for so-called less than cheerful songs... I pretty much like what I have heard of them so far. Interesting name too.

I've heard of the band, although I haven't heard the music.

Trivia - the band's name derives from William Gibson's classis SF novel, Neuromancer. The AI Wintermute, seeking to unite with its other half, Neuromancer, sent Henry Case, a data rustler, and Molly Millions, a street samurai, to infiltrate the physical mainframe of the Tessier-Ashpool orbital habitat, Straylight. Since, in the novel's parlance, a cyberattack on a data structure was called a "run", the job was referred to as "the Straylight Run".

I really, really like that book... 8)
