There are better quality vids of Ars Nova on YT, in terms of sound. 
Can't point anyone at them because I downloaded them.

I wouldn't says "Move away, Keith Emerson." Their keyboard players are 
good, but not that good. Also not particularly inventive when it comes 
to sound. But they do put on a good show.

Note about them. They often paint themselves as an all-girl band. Yet in 
a number of their concert vids, there's a man playing drums off in the 
shadows. Does make me wonder if he's covering up for their drummer.

Just to avoid confusion with the other Ars Nova (American prog rock) band:
