We went to the first record release party and these guys are the real deal. Since that party a year or so ago, they have had a residency at the Brooklyn bowl and have toured extensively and have even almost died in car accidents. They return alive and well with a new bass player who plays as well as Kiyoshi did, but lacks the front man singing skills that lead to two of their greatest songs, "shes in control" and my personal favorite, the epic "dizzy". Despite that change Tash Neal, the lead guitarist/ singer, is doing better than ever, and has changed up his style very little. He was given a second guitar, a dobro, and there was a short time where the new bass player left and he rocked with Chris, the Ginger Baker-esque drummer, who sings well and plays even better. They covered AC/DC's "its a long way to the top", Bowie's "it aint easy" and closed with a rockin', balls to the walls cover of the Faces "stay with me".
