I saw them before Spock's beard as well and I was really impressed. The drummer noticed that I was headbanging and having a great time during their set, he came to me afterwards and gave me a fist bump, which was pretty cool of him. It's a shame I didn't have enough cash to buy both their album and the new Spock's beard DVD - the DVD was a must. Fingers crossed that I'll bump into Hollow shrine someday, some of the songs from the show are still in my head...
