 JAM AND CHEESE: The String Cheese Incident   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The String Cheese Incident (the name's meaning remains a mystery that the band members half-jokingly refuse to comment on) began as a “newgrass” outfit but has expanded its sound to include healthy doses of jazz, funk, and rock.
String Cheese concerts now bear little resemblance to the bluegrass mountain hoedowns of the band's early days.
It's not unusual for String Cheese to play a bluegrass tune such as “How Mountain Girls Can Love” and follow it with a jazz standard such as Weather Report's “Birdland.” Extended jams are typical; songs often go on for 15 minutes and segue nonstop from one to the next for an entire set.

 The String Cheese Incident - Biography - AOL Music
The bluegrass-based jam band the String Cheese Incident is comprised of mandolinist/violinist Michael Kang, guitarist Bill Nershi, bassist Keith Moseley, pianist Kyle Hollingsworth, and percussionist Michael Travis.
They initially gigged simply in exchange for free lift tickets at ski resorts throughout the western U.S., but as the String Cheese Incident's popularity grew they began taking their music more seriously, soon averaging upwards of 170 live dates each year and eventually setting up their own record label, Sci Fidelity.
Their debut LP, Born on the Wrong Planet, appeared in 1997, followed later that year by A String Cheese Incident Live.

 String Cheese Incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The String Cheese Incident (often abbreviated to SCI) has been described as a democratic ensemble rather than a band, since all of the members contribute their own original compositions to the group's burgeoning library and share vocal duties on a number of cover versions as well as their own songs.
Despite spanning only one disc and containing only ten tracks, the album clocks in at 72 minutes even (thus, with an average track length of 7:12, displaying their propensity for extended jams), and is widely considered the best CD for new converts to listen to in order to become acquainted to the band's live sound.
An organization called Peak Experience Productions was hired to add various eye and mind psychedelia, and audience participatory activities, to larger "Incidents" such as New Year's Eve and Halloween (dubbed "Hulaween" due to the band's early connection to hula hooping).

 EARVOLUTION: An Incident Worth Investigating: String Cheese Incident At Radio City Music Hall   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The sensibility of pairing Ratdog with String Cheese goes beyond the two bands' affinity for extended improvisational jams: String Cheese's traces its origins to the same Americana based music mined with great success by the Grateful Dead.
Where the Dead mixed their bluegrass influences with folk, blues and psychedelia, String Cheese keeps their bluegrass heart front and center, often bringing in elements of calypso, Latin music and funk in the same manner the Talking Heads worked those same rhythms into their later work.
For the Thursday evening show, String Cheese began the evening with a lengthy two hour opening set, making great use of Radio City's more spectacular attributes: inviting a pair of artists to paint on stage while skillfully incorporating Radio City's lights within their own to create a trippy, psychedelic atmosphere.

And I was very surprised a band like String Cheese would be interested in working with a producer like me. And I wasn't wrong!” He explodes with laughter, and the room follows.
The album is redolent with Floydisms: the blend of crisp acoustic guitar, drone keyboards and Kang's bluesy, but melodic, echo-laden leads; the snippets of spoken-word dialog drifting in and out as in a dream; and the booming drums propelling the songs through sometimes dense soundscapes of effects and ambient fields.
