bargain!

Keith is a big fan too, I'm sure he can trump it up.

They are a band that in concert, is more than meets the eye. On vinyl, they are song-oriented. The Stavesacre you sent me is similar in song structure, but Stavesacre is more heavy and grungy, Dada is cleaner. The harmonies are awesome, which I feel separates the garage bands from the greats.

The guitarist is incredible, he has a twang to his style. He'll be the one with the raspier edgy voice, the bassist has the gentler tone. A great contrast.

Puzzle is their first CD, lumped as alternative (but we know better). It's worth $20 to me, so three is an absolute steal. I really like the second CD (American Highway Flower). They put out two more, "El Sublisimo" and "dada" (just like King's X, their fourth is self-titled).

After a four-year hiatus, they've just put out "How To Be Found", and have a live record too. I'm excited cause I thought they were dead in the water.


Enjoy!
