wish i could make it to dude fest in indy but ill be getting raw in miami around that time.

[Marko]

One of the worst bands I,ve ever seen. Smug and uberpretentious. Constantly reprimanding the sceptical audience that we "didnt get" their precious art.

[I Am Not Marty Feldman]

Definitely a shit band.  I thought they were mildly funny. 

[babayaga]

people a lot cooler than me dropped the name of this band into conversation a lot, i don't know if they ever bought their music, but heard some of their singles and it was good.. pop group type things.

[Swampy]

I ordered their first two albums at some point because of descriptions and recommendations and was entirely disappointed.  Listened to them a total of 2 times each.  I hear these albums are now worth some money (I think they were self-released or something... I know I ordered em' right from the band at the time), so if anybody wants to send me a good amount of dollars for these records, I'd gladly part with them.

[Lemon Session]

Only really good when they had a bassist, though there were some highlights afterwards.

The first half of the singles collection and the first album are fucking genius.

[Scrod Prickknee]

Fuckin Joe Domino and that neoteric Shawn dude convinced me these guys were worthy of my attention. They weren't. I think Joe's label put some of their shit out or something....along with a comp of the best Piranhas material. Huh?

[Spody Ody]

I don't get it. Queen Hygiene II is a great album.

[forced to frug]

Fake Arab On Radar / Oxes split is pretty much the only thing I remember about that band: http://www.fakejazz.com/reviews/2001/oxes4.shtml

Some people got really uptight about that one.  I wonder if anyone has done that recently.
