I recently discovered this amazing band and bought their cd/dvd “Under the Radar.”

Apparently they have a huge following.

Anyone seen 'em live?

I have. They played at the 9:30 club a year or two ago here in DC. Yeah, they have a big following in the NE.

Frankly, I don’t get it. I mean, they’re all right, but I don’t see what’s special about them. Of course, I don’t understand the following that a lot of bands has, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Haven’t gotten a chance to see them yet, but being from CT, I can tell you **Neurotik** is right. Around here they have a big following.

I know a lot of their songs, and can understand the appeal, even if I’m not a huge fan myself.

Yeah, they’re not usually my type of band - but I dig them. I like the funk meets reggae meets hippie vibe, I guess.

I think they’d be a fun band to see live.

Yeah, they were actually…and I don’t even like them that much. If you like the music you should definitely find a show to go to.
