Seriously. (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=30109510)

My roommate turned me onto them this summer, and I finally got to see them live last night at Park West. Incredible... the set lasted for three hours, it was immense.

Make sure to check out "Spiritualize".

Been pumping these boys up for the past 2-3 years hard. Definitely a more mature sound they are putting out, but they are truly happening right now. Take it on the road with them whenever they're around. Big things coming for the boys.

Good to hear! I'm honestly surprised they're not huge already.

Check www.archive.org (http://www.archive.org) for some live takes. They also have shows available through livedownloads.com

Mikey plays a lovely HB PRS, and Luke is on a 135 I believe. But most guitar work is Mike, while Luke provides synth and rhythm work.

Thanks for the tip!

And to be certain, I've never heard a PRS sound better. Usually I'm not a fan at all!

The 135 was giving Luke a bit of trouble the other night, but luckily he was able to borrow a Gretsch Country Gentleman from the opening band. Great guitar sound all around, though.
