I couldn't find an old thread so I started a new one.  Such a great show last night.  They are truly a band to see live.  So many extended jams but still kept my attention.  I don't know why I waited so long to see them.  Here's a few pics from the show.

Similar Skin is a nice comeback, although I'm finding it more uneven that I initially thought. Mantis still remains their masterpiece.

Live: I think in that topic I left my take on them. I guess it's best to say, others love them, but I don't imagine I'll be seeing them again soon.

Wow! That's even more unlikely than when Rush was on.

bump.

unsure if anyone around knows Doom Flamingo, Ryan from Umphrey's side project, but their new EP Measurements came out today and it's really fucking good.

Ther singer, Kanika Moore is the real deal. They recorded a great cover of Crowded Houses's "Don't Dream It's Over"

They do indeed rule! I play music with their backup bass player, Tim.  He tours with Doom Flamingo when Ryan is unable to, due to his UM commitments.
