band based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Their name was taken from the title of a Sam Shepard play founding member, Paul Sanchez was reading at the time, although the phrase was used five years prior to the play by Bob Dylan in the song "Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands". The nucleus of the band formed in the 1990s, and they... have become a powerhouse live act whose performances have been likened to "a religious experience."
Some of their most popular songs include "Love Of My Life" "Everybody Loves Jill" (where the audience throws red spoons on stage), "Easy," "Disconnected," "Hurricane Party", "How Do You Tell Someone," "Light it on Fire" and "Jenny Says," (the usual closing song of every show and the band's biggest radio hit to date). They also perform a version of "Born to Run" on the Light of Day tribute album to Bruce Springsteen, a version of "The Pusher" on the soundtrack to Half Baked, and several of their own songs on the soundtrack to the 1995 film The Underneath (two of which they perform onscreen in the film). Their single "This Much Fun" from their 2006 album "Voodoo Shoppe" is featured in the trailer for the Disney animated feature Meet the Robinsons. Read More
