Yep, that one.  Formerly of 'American Spectator' magazine.

He's an Australian guitar player (great musician!) who plays in the Dirty
Three and was formerly in Venom P. Stinger (with Dirty Three drummer Jim
White), the Sick Things, and other noise/punk bands from down under.  The
hype on the Dirty Three, fortunately, blew over a couple years ago, but if
you're not familiar with them, I would *highly* recommend them to fans of
Simon House.  They're sort of a melodic/jazz/psychedelic instrumental trio,
and violinist Warren Ellis is fantastically talented and capable of
creating really dramatic, moving melodies and tunes.  Unfortunately, his
between-song banter leaves a bit to be desired, but that's really the only
negative thing I could say about them.

father = folk-rock standup bassist
son = thud thud drummer
