Been listening to them a lot lately- some really awesome stuff! Any other fans?
Also, has anyone seen them live? They're playing SummerStage in Central Park- thinking about checking them out!

So far, One Way Road and Zebra are my favorites. Used to Get High is another cool one.

    unfortunatly they are not like they used to be.
    not really a fan of the new album, but i need to give it a few more chances.

    i miss the days of 3 hour shows with 20 minute jams. these 3 minute songs are weak

    check out this one from years back with the original trio, check out the guitar from about 4 mins on to see what He is capable of doing, and you will see why i think the new stuff sucks! - Take

    They have a small, but dedicated following here in NA. Both shows here in Vancouver in a 1500 seat venue sold out almost instantly.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    dude, JBT is one of my faves!!! John Butler is one of the best and original guitar players out there and his live shows are amazing. saw him open up for G-Love back in 08 (I went more so for JBT than G-Love, although he puts on a fun show as well). Grand National has to be one of my top 10 favorite albums ever. I agree that "used to get high" is a great tune. Also love Daniella! If you havent seen a live version of 'Ocean' you're missing out. Some incredible guitar playing. Havent got the new album yet cuz I didnt want to pay shipping from Oz, waiting for its official release here in the state on Tues. Check it:

    Not a huge fan, am going to see them in Dublin this week to review too so maybe I'll like them more after that

    Love these guys ever since seeing the 'Make Poverty History" video. Haven't listened to the new stuff yet but can't wait.
