Finally listened to this song...hilarious.
So, how do you all feel knowing you're driving God's car?

Yes, and no. I chatted with the lead singer (Wammo) briefly, but he was pretty out of it - oral surgery earlier in the day and a 2 hour show.

Yeah, apparently he cracked a tooth while down south, and was asking Sunday night for a good referal to a dentist in the area... |

Oh no! Their Facebook page says they're retired. Was checking to see when/where they were playing. I wonder if they realize they created an anthem?

| They've done a couple of Christmas reunion shows here in Austin, where they invite the entire cast of bandmembers from over the years ( which includes some pretty heavyweight musicians) to rotate out on various songs from over the years. It's a great time. If your interested, look up Wammo's song "Beer", or "Hick Hop", which is a country/gangster rap fusion song! Also Stan Smith, the older "jazz cat" looking guy who plays clarinet has some great solo work, "Paint My Mailbox Blue" is a nice one. All around probably the most diverse band I've ever seen... |
