Not just interesting noise but one of the most entertaining live shows I've ever seen. There's definitely a kitschy element to the act and I think that makes it a little hard for some to take them seriously, but I think they're really cool. An example of the sound:

The crux of the music comes from his invention, the drum buddy. From his website:

Quintron regards his most significant creation to be a patented instrument called THE DRUM BUDDY, a light activated analog synthesizer which creates murky, low-fidelity, rhythmic patterns.

Drum buddy demo (pretty freaking cool):

In addition to the drum buddy he uses a custom-made Hammond organ/Fender Rhodes synthesizer combo simultaneously, the Hammond organ acting as his primary instrument, and the Fender Rhodes supplying bass lines. He can often be seen keeping time on a hi-hat with one foot while toggling between a volume and wah-wah pedal with the other. (thanks wikipedia!)

Miss Pussycat (his wife) makes these incredibly intricate but super weird puppets, shows generally start out with them and they're my favorite part to be honest. She does backup vocals and plays the maracas too.

Anyway, even if you don't like the final product the amount of work that goes into it is pretty admirable, no?
