I just heard these guys last night while I was driving, and man, it's been a while since anything new has come on the radio that made me turn the volume way up.

Listen to the almost the slow steady groove of "I'm Broke" then get ready to get up and move to "Sugarfoot". . I checked out the whole albm on iTunes and I will buy it today.

The bass player lays it down solidly, but the whole band is tight. Out of all things, I'd love to play in band with keys and horns.

Very strong James Brown vibe to those songs.

Love it. I will be buying that soon.

Loved the Shepard Fairey "Hope" reference at the end of I'm Broke.

I bought the cd a couple days ago and I can honestly say the other songs are just as good and some are pretty funny. Buy it. Buy it now.

I still laugh when I listen to "Get Yo Sh**."
