I listened to these guys, and they're actually pretty good! Though at times I could have sworn I was listening to Zep or the Dead. Good jamming. :smile:

You must have listened to High Hopes and One 1000, then.
It's even better live--I see them every chance I get. I have 8 shows on CD, plus the album. It was out on Island records in 1998, but that label went under, and now they're looking for another one for the next album, whose songs really kick ass.
