Well. That is rather rock-n-roll of them!

In a David Bowie and Mick Jagger kind of way yeah.

Not to just randomly throw around the phrase "that's gay", but if you strip nekkid and start kissing other guys, well that's gay.

But as I live in Atlanta, I now have to go see when they are playing around here.

It's clear what this band chooses to do all night, but what is their principal endeavor all day?

Easily one of the most awesome live bands out there. Saw them in Montreal last year and it was a riot. to get an idea, get the Los Valientes del Mundo Nuevo album, it's live in a Tijuana bar. They also played on the Gaza strip a couple years ago

Seen them play several times, they never disappoint. I even got a kiss from Ian one time.

I've only heard Veni Vidi Vici but it's a great single.

Hey, The Kinks got kicked out of India and America. Now that's an accomplishment.

"Apparently the jail in Chennai is no joke. Word on the street said that it was teeming with tuberculosis, violence and live maggots so instead of risking going there we fled the scene."

Like that's any worse than Atlanta.

Atl resident here too. I met their tour manager. They're making quite a name for themselves through their antics. They were opening for the Rancentours, racontoures, however you spell it....and the stage manager met up with them, the first thing he said was this: "hey guys, nice to meet you....first time you light a guitar on fire or pull some crazy shiat you're off the tour."

hehehe
