I saw the books last night in Utrecht. They played along to recordings of their electronic parts and samples on acoustic guitar, cello and bass. They were synced up to some video collage pieces. I was somewhat dissappointed that they only played the video to one of my favorite songs 'Tokyo' as they took a short break. But they redeemed themselves many times over including a cover of Nick Drake's 'Cello Song'. They are about to start the US leg of their tour so if get a chance check them out. www.thebooksmusic.com
