They're the kind of band that no one really remembers (myself included), but whose music will have gotten into the ears of anyone who's spent quality time in waiting rooms. Old farts or not, they brought the goods—progging it up and then smoothing it out with heavenly harmonies that sounded like a chorus of Michael McDonalds hiding backstage. They knew their audience's game but were jaunty enough to elide the "so uncool it's cool" paradigm that the venue suggested. They just worked it like smiling pros. Shit was tight, and joyous love was everywhere. I think I got some of it on me.
Here's a jam that inches a little onto Steely Dan's turf. Which is no crime in Songblague's legal code.
