I saw these guys in the mid-90s at a small bar in Iowa. I was standing about 6 feet away for the stage. Awesome show except they only played 4 songs. Someone in the band got pissed off about people being noisy in the bar and they stopped playing. Then they went to the bar and started drinking.
No surprise. These guys are all pompous asses who think their special. They think their music DEMANDS attention. Sorry, that's not the case. If they don't like it, though shit.
@bittynigga I know, why can't these guys play their music and just go away if they're expression is swamped out by generic, lite-beer drinking middle Americans who only respond earsplitting Kiss and Poison. Oh, wait a minute, that's what they did... they all have had to move to Europe where culture is still progressing instead of being consumed by the latest stripping GaGa. Bye bye now.
The way the video's edited really captures the feel of the music - that sort of nervous energy, passion about to boil over, schizophrenic(?) un-still balladry Berne so excels at. The way things never quite get in focus, keep shifting - attention is never fixed - textural density (yet clarity at the same time - Berne plays in a very strong, linear way).
Usually you have to know something about music to comment. Obviously you have shit for brains! All of these cats are very skilled musicians and they dedicate their lives to music. So get back in your ice cream truck and look for the next toddler!

Micheal Formanek is a loser. He's a terrible bass player who overplays to hide his lack of swing. He's a fat pig who smells bad too.
