Now I cant say im an expert on this band, but ive heard them perform a few times *live? I wish, on late night shows tapes, and once on Austin City Limits yeah thats right the show on PBS that I NEVER had any interest in until I saw them on there!* and they are just solid stright soul! they have that great garage-band feel to them with the whole *jam band* thing witch is cool. the whole vibe they have is really uplifting and their energy is top-notch. anymore I could say is just go out and take a listin to them!
