OK, so those guys had: 1) a hyper-charismatic (albeit, possibly, crazy) frontman, Rob, 2) a fabulously solid and creative “rhythm” guy, the other Rob, who laid the most solid foundation and provided the crazy creative flourishes, 3) a beyond-cute Mexican-American kid with a knack for guitar licks named Celso (talk about a cool name and sweetness and bad-boy charisma rolled into one cool individual), 4) a super-steady drummer whom I can’t recall and who probably self-combusted several times. They put out two kickass, smart, fun, irreverent LP’s loaded with energy and snark. I can’t find their third record (and last) which pains me to no end. But, hey, we knew them, almost were “friends”, went to a ton of shows and loved every minute of it. I ran into Rob Sullivan, incredibly randomly, about 2 years ago, and what a breath of fresh air that was… Now thanks to Facebook and a few other Web 2.0 places, there are some folks as passionate about these guys as I am, which is a good thing. I believe… Now, if only I could find their 3rd record somewhere…
