These guys had a unique mix of hard and sweet elements. Actually, some of the songs Greg sang were pretty much hard and mean, the ones Mike sang tended to be hard with more melodic vocals. With just three instruments everybody got a decent amount of musical elbow room. They were also usually extremely loud, always a plus. Anyway, a great band that shoulda gotten more attention than they did. One of my fave moments for these guys was a gig they played in Jacksonville at the Milk Bar, a place downtown that was still operating (under another name) as a "progressive" nightspot the last time I was in the area. This would been probably the winter of 1988-89. I remember it was cold. Greg or somebody called me and asked if I could come along to do sound, because Mike Murphy wasn't able to do it for some reason. I had nothing planned for the evening so I said sure. We drove up, loaded in the equipment. Practically nobody showed up. It seems to me there was a second band but I can't remember who -- I don't think it was a G'ville band. The main thing I remember was Greg playing this fantastic out-of-control guitar solo on "All the Time," one of their hardest-hitting tunes, with me standing in front of the stage in awe, and, literally, about four other people in the room, all huddled back in the corner somewhere. And I am thinking "Jeez, this is a freakin' amazing performance, and there is NOBODY watching." There were probably 20-30 poser dweebs out in the front room trying to avoid the music without leaving the building altogether. This brings up an important point -- if you're a real rock 'n' roller, you will play your ass off just for the amusement of yourself and your bandmates, and to please the gods. If you play half-assed when there's a disappointing turnout because you're all pouty, you're a wanker. Luv, Tom Nordlie

Yes, these guys did rock.
