BRAIN: Review of *Trepanation*

[Rudich, Robert A]

tunes to new heights.

I alluded to much the same after seeing them last December.   Comparing the
CD to the gig, I'd say that live is where Deb can really strut her stuff.
 Plus there is an interplay with Al that is far less noticeable on record,
but really great live.   Nobody growls like Al.  Not even Deb's friend
Robert (with the prompters).

>as long as Frost is singing, I'm listening.

If you get the chance, LIVE is the way to listen to them at their best.
