These guys have been around for a bit, I'm Really digging these guys a lot right now. They are so chill and funny but yet beautiful, it's like Pink Floyd,Flight of the Conchords and the Bee Gees made love and spawned these fellas.

Anways, they have a song named "Kids" which was written about Andrew Wood that you guys should check out if you haven't (which if you Sirius you no doubt have). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMISSK-zXZc

Also, check out the song "We Care" (probably have to legally download from Limewire). Just amazing.

    that's kinda crazy that your username is electric feel and you joined in 2006. did you just create that name more recently for the message board, or did you know something we didn't?.....either way, i dig mgmt too. oracular spectacular is a great album. they're pretty well known though at this point, i would think most people that are into that kind of music have already heard kids, but whatever. it's a good song.

    I really hated your post. :D Seriously, it was awful.

    I said it was out there awhile, but I mentioned it because I am not sure people realized it was about Andrew Wood. There are probably lot of people out there (like me) that never gave them a shot when they came on the radio. (perhaps the more "rawk" base of PJ fans) If you have not, a close listen might change your mind.

    Yes, these guys are a good band. They're recording a new one up in Malibu right now....i believe

    Andrew Wood wrote kids? :o I did not know that.

    Fun group to see in concert, I caught them in the tent at Coachella last year. "Kids" is one of my favorite songs from last year too, great tune.

    I saw them at Reading Festival last year and thought they were brilliant.

    The song kids is soo infectious, once you hear it, you cannot get the tune out of your head!!! Such a summer festivaly song.

    Anyway, DID NOT KNOW KIDS WAS WRITTEN ABOUT ANDREW WOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I shall have to read the lyrics now, never would have connected them with Andy at all.
