I thought they were Britain's funkier answer to Blind Melon, with a little bit of Temple of the Dog thrown in. It's like the lead singer hung out with Chris Cornell for years.
I saw these cats open up for Third Eye Blind in Milwaukee a bunch of years ago. Holy crap were they impressive! There was some heckler down in front nearby and the lead singer leapt over a bunch of people, got in the dude's face and continued singing his song RIGHT AT THE GUY. I was expecting fisticuffs - but that got the crowd super fucking pumped. Quite possibly one of the top 5 opening acts I've ever seen.
Then they kinda went away.
Don't know that America really got it... Which is too bad. Reef could fuckin' jam, man...
Good call.

Once at T in The Park festival,they had transport issues and were very late for their set,the organisers weren't going to let them go on but they insisted,they only had time for a 20 minute set but they set the place on fire in that 20 minutes.
Brilliant bunch of guys listening to them makes me feel great
Frazba was in a bar in London last year when Place Your Hands came on and the place went mental singing along ... except for the five people I was with from this place :shock: .... none of them are from the UK and looked very confused wondering who were this band none of them had heard of but that all these crazy Brits were having a huge singalong too

That would've been funny to see
They still play gigs periodically, I saw them last summer playing on a beach near me.
Next month they've a box set coming out and are playing a couple of small London gigs -

They are good blokes, I have been drunk with them a few times after gigs

Wonder when the warm-up gig at the Riflemans will be?
I'm surprised it took this long ... :twisted: :P
I couldn't find a youtube clip
Place your hands is a Djs secret weapon. If you ever start to lose a crowd stick this on and watch the place go mental.
Worked for me many a time

Naked is one of the standout songs of my mid-90s youth, secondary school through to college. Just listening to it now brings back a ton of great memories.
Needs a vid!
