Ooh just remembered Naked on the Vague use a 401. Incredible band, we've played with them a few times. Check them out.

Woooo, nothing hotter than a female on a synth, except maybe smallsynth or jexus making out with one

surprisingly, Jon Hassell's band with Michael Brook and J.A. Deane at their performance in Toronto back in 1983. Deane was the percussionist but for one of the pieces, he plucked away at a custom modded VL-Tone (according to what he told me after the show).

It took some digging around on their obnoxiously-designed website, but yeah I confirmed it. I was thinking they did. It's some odd one with the outputs on the side. It looks like a yamaha MK, but clearly says casio.

My band, DEAN have used a CasioTone MT35 since we started in 1994. The "rock" preset is the drum beat on every song we have ever recorded.

It does.

I saw these crazy guys at a weird show in LA.
They have one of those small casio tones with the dadada beat.

I think the other band that night, Dorsal Fin, used a larger casio and only used the orchestra hit sound.

metal + casio=fun

I saw Sunset Rubdown (solo project of Spencer from Wolf Parade) last night and though I didn't see clearly, I'm pretty sure from the sound that one of the members had an SK-1. I heard the very familiar flute and piano sounds from it.
