Javelin is the creative endeavor of George Langford and Tom Van Buskirk, cousins from New England. The two began making music in 2005 under the auspice of the Providence, RI art/noise scene. They wielded a mobile boombox soundsystem that used FM transmission to pump out pop-influenced sample collages, and their aesthetic aimed for surrealist block party in-a-box. They've since performed everywhere from house parties to NYC's MoMA and even gotten themselves signed to Luaka Bop, David Byrne's psychedelic world music label. Not bad guys. Not bad.
