I saw these guys at a little club in Madison and they killed even though there were maybe 20 people there. We also let them stay at our shitty apartment and drink our liquor/beer since we were sure they didn't make a lot of money on the show. Really nice guys and quite a show. I still have the CD and listen to it.

When the Gerlach boys get together...magic happens. One of their shining moments...brilliant, fellas.

Great band, somebody post their cover of Cher's "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves".

Whatever happened to these guys? I remember seeing them numerous times back in 1992 and 93 at Lounge Ax and Metro in Chicago. They put on a great show, and Steve was a great guy.

Great video Tom. Thanks. Our reputation was always bigger than our audience...
