You guys knocked that out of the park! I would say that is more of acid jazz version than actual funk, but I would buy the CD if you put it on one.

Dude, you can play, but your bassface had me cracking up! You were like a combination of Angus Young from AC/DC and a drunk guy about to hurl!

Excellent work! Congratulations! I'll spread the link around.

The cameraman could have given you and the drummer some more 'face time'.

HAHAHA!!!! Nobody ever accused me of being sexy. As long as you dig the playing, I can live with that.

Thanks for checking it out!

You guys are awesome! I especially like your guys version of "Something". Reggae versions of covers song are hit or miss. It sounded very authentic late 60's early 70's reggae minus the Jamaican accent. Dope!

P.S.
I remember seeing your Queen cover too. I don't remember where, but I remember having a big smile on my face after

Wow, thanks folks! I'm glad this hasn't all fallen off the radar. Really appreciate the support.

We just (finally) released another tune from our 2010 Nirvana tribute show if you're interested:

Also I thought that was some pretty mild bass face in the whole scheme of things.
