    • I heard them on the radio twice yesterday and its been a while but its like an old friend. I was lucky enough to see them live before the singer died.
      Anybody else here into them?
    •  WickedWesticleWickedWesticle
    • Yeah they are one of my faves.

      Lucky guy to have seen them.

    • Yeah my first glastonbury my mate who seemed to know of every obscure US band years before anybody else. He made me go see them with him and I was quite frankly blown away.
      Dude we so need to go for drinks and music banter at some point.

    • Yes maybe a London Ninehertz crew drink up in Cro bar soon should be on the cards. I woe Ms. Tinitus at least a couple of pints. Jack's aways up for a beer I'm sure and if we're lucky Rich will show us his shiney plums.
    •  WickedWesticleWickedWesticle
    • Sounds good. Haven't been to the Crobar in ages.

    •  WickedWesticleWickedWesticle
    • Yeah he sometimes played 2 at the same time.

      Ok top 5 tracks.
      French Fries with Pepper
      Top Floor Bottom Buzzer
      Candy
      Do not go quetly unto your grave
      The Night

      I think that probably changes every time I listen to them
    •  Tim HolehouseTim Holehouse
    • Yeah me too... the night though for the fact its so moody. But Honey white was the real stand out track when they played live. Yeah the two sax thing was amazing to watch. How can you not love a band with a guy playing two sax's, a guy on 2 string slide bass and crooning. Oh and the drummer was amazing!

    • The whole album The Night is growing on my over time. There's a lot of stuff going on in their, a bit more complex than the other albums.
