In fact, I do believe that occasional FS visitor, Mike Mazz, has this front and center on his Mount Garagemore list. This is a wonderful mix of pop, folk, and the emerging harder fuzzed out rock. The lead work is almost out of place with the reserved instrumentation of the rest of the band. In fact, the lead is much more in line with what you would expect to hear out of Texas. Think Mouse and the Traps, Moving Sidewalks, Kempy and the Guardians, Kit and The Outlaws. <br /><br />To find out that this is a bunch of young kids makes it all that much better. And I dig the family band connection too. <br /><br />I found my copy in a comic book/record store called Yesterdays Records in Davis California when I was about 15. It was run by my High School Psychology teacher. What was his name? I also picked up a copy of The Shadows of Knight's excellent 2nd album, Back Door Men at the same time.
