I'm a big fan ... one of those bands that got completely forgot about here in the US ...

I feel they came out at the wrong time, if they came out 10 years earlier or later, they'd be much bigger. I mean think about it ... if George Best or Bizarro came out when Bloc Party or Franz Ferdinand hit it big, they'd be huge. But, they came out while the US was going from hair metal to grunge.

And because people want something new or fresh, they aren't going to pay attention to a band with 7 albums out. Which is a shame, because they are great.

Coincidentally, I just picked up their latest (El Rey) this weekend ... first listen, great album. Thought their last album was fantastic (see Ringway to Seatac below) ... they are killer live, sadly, missed them this time though.

Because I'm big on educating people ... here are some tunes ... what few I could find .... (wish I could find soem tracks from Watusi)
