I saw The Beta Band live yesterday.

Now i'm really pretty depressed that they've split. Their albums don't do them justice at all.

The show was amazing, too. Every now and then they'd randomly swap instruments or kick stuff over. It was all really animated. (y)

They're releasing a DVD soon, too.

There will be a reunion tour! Honestly!

Then a goodbye one.....

etc, etc, don't be sad, glad it was a corker of a night (y)

I just got into them and I LOVE THEM! I was watching High Fidelity and there is a scene in the store when John Cusack puts on the Beta Band and is like..."I will now sell 5 Beta Band albums" the song he played was great so I went out and got all the albums...so chill and mellow...rocks.

If that's the EP collection it's their best work, but make sure you investigate further. True originals in a barren pop landscape...

True originals in a barren pop landscape...

Ha! Yeah, right.

New trash that fits right in with the rest of the barren post-89 landscape, you mean.

I still think 'Dry the Rain' is one of the best songs of the past few years.

[Parkey]

Ha! Yeah, right.

You got me!
