I think I've seen them mentioned here once, any fans? I only have Welcoming Home The Astronauts but the bits I've heard of their live stuff has me really hoping I can get a hold of Tarantula sometime.

Great band. Anyone who hasn't heard them before needs to stop reading this forum and give them a quick listen, you twat.

Oh wow... this band is a band I haven't seen or heard mentioned in a looooooooong time. Back before I discovered/became addicted to prog, this was one of those bands I listened to all the time and recall looking up through Napster way back when.

I should seek out their albums and revisit them because, as I recall (so long ago), they were really good. Thanks for reminding me of something from my past...

Welcoming Home The Astronauts is an amazing album. The rest of what I've heard hasn't grabbed me at all, with the exception of "Blue" from their To Madagascar And Back EP, and some of the new tracks on their Causing A Catastrophe live album. I understand they put on a hell of a live show, but I seem to remember they broke up a year or so ago? Can't remember.

Fun band.
