Ward Dotson's Liquor Giants, a band I was in briefly in their NYC incarnation. One of the most under-appreciated Pop bands of the last 20 years or whatever. Like a much poppier Paul Westerberg. Great melodies, lyrics, playing and production.
God I love these guys. Even if they did just record the same LP 4 or 5 times. One of my 5 Favorite bands of the last 20 years, saw them twice live and they sounded amazing, although they didn't look very...happy. Buy The La's (Deluxe) [Extra tracks, Import]
"Here are 6 promotional videos for The Flamin’ Groovies. 3 of these are taken from YouTube sources (for help on downloading YouTube videos, see my article.) The other 3 were digitized from VHS video tapes and converted to .avi format; these 3 can be downloaded individually. All 6 videos in .avi format can be downloaded here. Note that there is a more complete version of the “Roll Over, Beethoven” video at this blog (I’ve converted the video to .avi format, available here)". viasinkfullofdishes.wordpress.com
