  I don't think so.  The old front guy lives in NY.  They're trying to
get a tighter sound (very evident) by having guys in the band who can
actually rehearse together.  Novel idea...:)

Levitation....brilliant!!

before).

  They did this last time, with artist drawing on stage during the
tune. Nice touch, as well as the inept flame throwing dude....

The best part I thought was that very same artist, who goes by the name
Screamer, tearing it up on lead vox on Uncle Sam's on Mars.  Twas never
a fave of mine, but this guy made it something special. If I had the
time and patience to put a band together again I'd be calling him for
sure.

  The originals, according to Steve Taylor, are not yet ready for prime
time... All in all a good time!
