Actually I am proud to personally know the bassist, Gio. He just graduated from the same college I'm going to now, so I got to talk to him a lot when he was there and attend his senior recital and stuff. He's an awesome jazz upright bass player, too. |

Heh, I'm suprised you've heard of Toast Machine... I thought they were just a local band, which is pretty much what they are. Gio's a really cool guy, but I always looked at him as more of just a fellow music student. Granted, he is an amazing multi-instrument musician. |

If bass/drums duos rock your boat, check out Big Business. They aren't Primus oriented like this stuff, but they have a nice blend of rock tempos and metal riffs. |
