I remember when this record came out. A buddy of mine from high school turned me on to this group. I was stuck on Husker, The Replacements, and Soul Asylum from my short stint in Minneapolis. He made me listen to the cassette tape he had and of course, I loved it. I don't think I took that tape out of my deck for months. I also remember the show they put on at Liberty Lunch. I'm not sure of the date although I am sure I could find it....all I remember was that I crowd surfed from the stage that night and it was a blast. I also remember Mr. Dando was under the influence of some acid that night. He actually announced it to the crowd...I quote.."I'm on acid....BLAH!...there, I said it". And then they proceeded to rock my world. I'm really looking forward to this show....BLAH...there I said it!
