I haven’t made it to one of their shows yet, but KEXP has been playing the CD from [Shake Some Action](http://www.shakesomeaction.net). It’s good power-pop; you might want to give 'em a listen.

Hmm - not bad. Thanks for the tip. I wonder if they named themselves after the old Flaming Groovies song? The singer sounds a bit like the fella from They Might be Giants…
