Back in April of 2002, frustrated with the confines of the traditional Rock outfit, P. Sir VZOnd V. von RICCI formed MAHI MAHI. a two-piece project built to make unconventional dance music without the use of sequencing. There was no particular vision, initially. The two just fired up what they had for equipment to work with (VZO: a drum kit and electronic drum triggers and VVR a mid 60's Acetone organ and some vocal effects) and just began playing. Their sound coalesced somewhat accidentally and within a couple of weeks they had a set to play live. Because of their differing backgrounds in music, the songs were quite unique. VVR's Rock, Electronic and No Wave influences echoed a new generation of Suicide or Teenage Jesus angst with the hopefulness of Bowie's "Diamond Dogs" while VZO's tutelage in Trip Hop and Rock influences produced solid, innovative beats that sizzled like Tricky with the thunderous precision of John Bonham. This mistaken sound gained them instant recognition in the Providence Noise scene.
