    Well, with Sleater-Kinney breaking up maybe PJ needed a new fall-back opening band.

    Much better choice, in my opinion.

    They are great..Very melodic, and Jim James has one hell of a voice...Their first 2 records ( Tennessee Fire & At Dawn ) are classics and the latest Z is very good ( although much more experimental ) Their 3rd album It Still Moves is abit of a clunker but has 4 or so brilliant songs.
