I don't know what Laswell is up to now.  (He writes Herbie Hancock's
music for him, every now and then, to make money, doesn't he?)

A few years back, the three guys that made up Material (Fred Frith, Bill
Laswell, and some other guy I can't remember right now) also had a group
called Massacre.  Massacre is *really* great, and very different from
Material, but not for the weak of ear.
