The Digit Probes, and the Caravan Moves On…

A band needs a special hook – an angle, a niche – if they’re gonna make a buzz these days.

The members of the new Saratoga Springs-based band Probing Digit have plenty of balls – big ones, too – but do they have the music to back it all up?

If you’re gonna brag about yourself, you might as well go all the way. That was obviously Michael Jackson’s philosophy when he started using that self-proclaimed “King of Pop” moniker.

Well, in case you hadn’t heard, Michael Jackson passed away last year – no, really, you didn’t hear? – so now Probing Digit is stepping up to claim the crown as the self-professed “New Kings of Pop.”

Are they kidding?

Well, no, we don’t think so. As it turns out, if you want to know more about the band, just log onto the band’s website at TheGreatestFuckingBandIinTheGodDamnUniverse.com.

Or just go and see ’em when Probing Digit invade Putnam Den in Saratoga Springs on Friday (January 15) with Black John Wayne and comedian Gazebo sharing the stage.
