Notes: I
love this band. Fantastic song structures, clean instrumentals
and great story-telling abilities. Looking back to the Kinks and
the Who the fellers grabbed what they liked and made it theirs.
Their live performances are crackling with energy and power, but
never at the sake of the lyric. The song as a whole is what's important,
not just the individual parts. The band is still making music twenty
some years later and involved in a range of side projects. Dennis
is all over the spectrum writing, producing, performing in various
ensembles (check out Jimmy Silva and the Goats, the Squirrels or Young
Fresh Fellows if you aren't already familiar), Jimmy has his Buzzed
Meg and children's songs/stories tour, Mike has played with
the Little Kings (Dion) and Stickfigure (Jack MacDowell)
and Pat has his solo work (featuring J.J. Burnell of the Stranglers on
bass) as well as his political interests going on. Busy guys with
a full fledged love of music.
