Smartass powerpopsters, basically, that's who we are. We've been together longer than we want to admit, but for the last few years or so, the band is made up of SETH GORDON on guitar and vocals, TONY LEVENTHAL on bass and vocals, ROBBIE RIST (who you may remember because he played COUSIN OLIVER on THE BRADY BUNCH) on lead guitar and vocals and NELSON BRAGG (who is also the newest member of BEACH BOY BRIAN WILSON'S band) on drums and vocals. Our last album was produced by MITCH EASTER, who has produced REM, PAVEMENT, MARSHALL CRENSHAW and a ton of others.
There are rumors we have a room reserved in Guantanamo after Bush and his cronies at the NSA saw the video for our last single THE EMPEROR STRIKES OUT. One reviewer described it as THE RAMONES directing FAHRENHEIT 9/11!
See it here before we're declared "enemy combatants!
Check out the video for our new single in Spain, MOLA, GUAY, OK (for you non-Spanish speakers, mola and guay basically mean "cool").
Oh, and we're "big" in Spain, hehehe...and speaking of Spain, here's the video we did for our cover of the Spanish classic, DEJAME, originally recorded by LOS SECRETOS. The song was the theme song in the Spanish hit film, LA FIESTA and some scenes from the movie are featured in the video.
..
Our favorite review is from the Phoenix New Times: "As thrilling as seeing Keith Moon kick over his kit or Ray Davies punch his brother Dave in the mouth. Yeah, it's that good."
