Hi Dan,
I thought I already had answered, but it looks like not.

Héhé! Nice already, thank you.

Unfortunately, we couldn't, though we're in contact with their booker.
Hope to catch them one day, for sure!

I just heard of them on a festival we were playing at and so did they,
but they finally had to cancel their tour (diseases, if I remind well).
I should take an ear, for sure (I'm going to do this just after this
mail).

Yeah, sure I will!

Hey! Sure they will find Linux fine.
Once again, though several in here (and at other places) find GNU/Linux
a not-to-be-used solution, or not in "professionnal places", or not in
live, or not by non-geek users, I just think the exact opposite, and
what I'm doing right now in Sebkha-Chott or other AMMD projects wouldn't
be possible without jack (or perhaps with Live + Max MSP, but I really
prefer to use softwares build by people having application developpment
skills than crappy PD/Max MSP prototyping by musicians!).
See you.
