Beck and the Question Marks?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I know for sure that MGMT is playing with Beck. (link to trippy video for "Electric Feel". Well one of them, there's another weirdass one that's an odd green screen cheap feel to it.)

Response by poster: Thanks, kkokkodalk, but I am looking for the personnel in Beck's current live band, not his opening acts.

Best answer: According to this blog the lineup is as follows:
Jessica Dobson on guitar (who makes music as Deep Sea Driver)
Bram Inscore on bass
Scott McPherson on drums (who played with Elliott Smith)
Brian LeBarton is back on keys (until Wounded Cougar takes off again).

Response by poster: Brian Inscore is correct, for sure:
Beck tour has been underway. The new band I put together is losing the shakes and bobbing their heads to the beat and the shows are going well. Our new lighting and video rig is fetching and our 8-bit mid-show detour will put you in stitches. I had to recreate the infamous Hell Yes-8 Bit remix and divvy up the parts into 3 different samplers so the whole band could play it together, with no sync mind you! (pats self on back).

Best answer: I can confirm that Brian LeBarton is on Keyboards as he often plays with Sia Fuller from Zero 7. I'm a keyboard player and depped for Brian on the Sia gig in the UK recently because he is on tour with Beck...both great artists!

Here's video evidence of Jessica Dobson playing a warm-up show with Beck this summer at The Echo in LA.

That link is to Brian LeBarton's myspace blog. So Brian LeBarton for sure, on keys. Still nothing but repeats of that blog post I linked to (in the form of accounts of The Echo show June 10) to support Inscore's participation.

Damned if I can remember his name, but back in '98 I playedva few gigs with Beck's keyboardest at the time. He was (Asian) Indian.

Is there something more you're looking for? Beck's dad took the stage with him at the Hollywood Bowl. I can't seem to find any additional members of the band. Show reports confirm those four are backing Beck on this tour...what else is there? (I'm stumped =)

Might want to take those tags out then. To keep the 'stumped' and 'unresolved' tags clear of answered questions, you know.

Response by poster: Yeah, just updated them. Did someone else add "stumped?" I can't seem to remove it.

Aha! Just remembered his name. Theo Mondle. It was a pleasure gigging with him.
And I guess Beck just uses Roger Manning in the studio, not on the road.
