There's a group called Mellotron Variations (led by a great organist, John Medeski) where all four members play Mellotrons. It's very interesting, and much more varied than you might expect if you're familiar with the typical Mellotron uses. There are some videos of their live performances on youtube, including an NPR Tiny Desk concert.

- joemi 3y agoIndeed, it sure is him! I love that he's still doing awesome stuff. The early MMW albums will forever hold a special place in my heart.
- rwmj 3y agoI'm thinking about the MTBF of Mellotrons, and thinking it's a miracle all 4 band members were able to play together ...
