Does anyone like this band? I just heard some of their music and like the mix of lyricism with a "hard" sound. Here are a couple youtube videos that have their music in the background:

I really like this group...they played at a free show outside in MN about 10 years ago and also had a good stage presence.My favorite song is..."I like cold beverages" because I am also fond of chilf liquid.I also liked the animation in the "super Bon Bon" video...trivia...one of the voices is the cute geek from "kids in the Hall", one of my fav shows...I think the other voice is also from the show but I'm not as positive on that one.

I recall they had alternative-radio hit of sorts back in 1994, "Screenwriter's Lament" or something like that. It was spoken-word over old noir-style sounds, about going to California to meet a model & making a movie, etc. Few years later heard "Super Bon Bon" and found it very catchy & compelling. Didn't like their song about black helicopters, though. Recently heard on radio episode of music & interview show w/ guest Mike Doty (the lead singer)-he did a solo album. His song with the chorus "sometimes I feel like taking out a Starbucks" was in heavy rotation on a local station for several months.
