jerryskids 5,442 Posted August 9, 2006 I don't really know much about their music but a friend asked if I wanted to go see them. What is their music like? Comparable bands? Any good? TIA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MLCKAA 421 Posted August 9, 2006 I don't really know much about their music but a friend asked if I wanted to go see them. What is their music like? Comparable bands? Any good? TIA Definitely worth seeing. I just saw them back in June. Not going to bother comparing them with other bands, since they are my favorite and there is no comparison IMHO. The music is rock, with a lot of good acoustic play. Its creative, influenced a lot of the bands that followed. If you like well crafted and well played rock songs with good lyrics, then check it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dabble in acoustic guitar myself and have always enjoyed bands that feature it. Anyone else have input? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_House 0 Posted August 9, 2006 I love 'em. I once heard them called a less catchy, less edgy Gin Blossoms, which I think is pretty accurate. enjoy the show! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Shared-Syringes 0 Posted August 9, 2006 I saw them when I was in college - in 92 or 93. They were fun then, but I have no idea what they've done since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More good news, I like the Gin Blossoms (one of Phoenix's few musical contributions). Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 541 Posted August 9, 2006 Jerry, you'll be familiar with a few of their songs. Walk On The Ocean, All I Want, and Good Intentions all charted. I've never seen them in concert, but their "Fear" album is one of my favorite cds from the 90's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never seen them in concert, but their "Fear" album is one of my favorite cds from the 90's. Thanks also. I figure it will be one of those concerts where I say, "oh, I know this song, didn't know it was them." Happened to me in the 80s at a Bob Seger concert. One of the most fun concerts I ever attended. Every song was like I described. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redtodd 7 Posted August 9, 2006 Quality Band. Hopefully they aren't trying to push a new album and play the good "old" songs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cgod 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Not that my input on the musical front holds any water compared to peeps like newbie but I have always enjoyed their music and would recommend you go see the concert. Also, I'm disappointed that nobody has asked for the can size of my friend. Gender was not indicated so there would be a 50-50 chance we'd be asking for the can size on a dood.

Rusty Syringes 478 Posted August 9, 2006 I had some CD of theirs for a while. I traded it in for something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessy 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Quality Band. Hopefully they aren't trying to push a new album and play the good "old" songs. They haven't done anything new for a while now. Glen Phillips has done plenty of solo stuff since they broke up and got back together. I adore Toad. I saw them in 1995, I think. It was a great show. FAR better than the Gin Blossoms. Yikes.

Not everything I like is completely obscure. When I saw them they played with Hootie, for Christ's sake. They've been playing clubs for a few years now. I've yet to get to see them again. I'll go in a heartbeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,442 Posted August 19, 2006 UPDATE!@# So I saw them last night, and they were meh... "All I Want" was the only song I definitely recognized. A few others were mebbes... and generally all sounded the same. My friend however has larger breasts than I realized. I'm guessing 36/38 DDs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
