We just removed our music from the platform. Can we put pressure on these Dr. Evil tech bros to do better? Join us on another platform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Artists such as Deerhoof and Xiu Xiu have recently made similar moves in response to news that Helsing, which is also run by Ek, is developing software for military weapons and equipment.

It feels like that\u2019s going to feel very celebratory for us. Apart from that, it\u2019s still very much evolving. We\u2019ve got one rehearsal with the symphony from Philadelphia the day before the first show and that\u2019s it for us. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s crazy or sadistic, but it\u2019s definitely something.
