That sucks, I really wanted to do a poster for those guys...

[braksandwich]

what really sucks is they won't be making more music

[kozik]

I have never heard of them. where they good? I would assume so.

wait theres a video....

4 minutes later:

hmm..they where OK I guess. guy sorta sounds like perry Ferrell.

I'd have to say as far as I am concerned, the need to 'keep it real' has succeeded. I will not ask them to play that song again in 40 years.

I hope they have good interesting lives doing other stuff.

Wow. That is really sad, but undoubtedly the most genuine and honest public reponse I have ever read come from a band. What they recorded was phenomenal and the poster work done for them was in some cases legendary, so in a sense it's just another chapter closed in rock and roll.

[kozik]

when you say legendary is it like 'I want You' legendary or 'poster of the week' legendary.

lets see some posters.

Sucks, I never got to see them live. I saw them on Conan a year or two ago and Max Weinberg came in mid song and took over on drums and the drumer dude switched to playing something else, or something weird, it was cool.

Hmm. Bummer. They were the only interesting band I've found out about in the last five or six years. At least they didn't put out one album too many like most groups do. Ok, several albums too many like most groups.

[marmite]

glad i got to see them
at least they didnt quit before they got out a good set of tooons

[100degrees]
