        Ah!  Seattle was the focus for the great American beer revival
in the Northwest.  I think it's now being eclipsed by the Northeast, but
the beer scene is in a lot of flux in the States right now, since its
become trendy.

        Hmm.  Don't know Nick compares to _that_ lot ;) but he does a
great job of merging punk verve and rawness with Hendrixoid guitar
pyrotechnics, some 60sish folk/psych stylings, and charmingly paranoid
and depressed songwriting.  As far I I'm concerned, that out grunges
the grungers, and is actually intelligent as well.

Cheers,
Carl
