look out for them RAW. I mean, strip away the money, the acts, the expectations from them, so that all you have left is thier love for what they do.

Catch them on an off-tour night, like those mom and pop clubs. They will hit the stage early, and leave approximately 1 hour after it's legal to even have a show in the mornin. They will sweat, and let thier souls explode on stage in front of your very eyes. They do it because they love it.

They have shows to promote thier album.
Last weeks show benefited NY from 911.
They open Stadiums for Dave Mathews.
They get booked for good money.

I've seen them on area one, OKayplayer, Dave's Band in Foxborough stadium, Lincoln Center, Philly, Chicago, some I can't even think of right now. They do it for 1 million reasons.

Catch them at a small joint. No BIG money, no Album, web site, or label to promote. Catch them at a small joint. They do it because they love it.
