I grew up listening to them, but have never been to a concert, just bought tickets for March 14th in the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago (anyone been to this venue?), which will be followed by St. Patties with friends the next day, haha.

Picture is of the lead singer. For those of you who don't know them, they were a band originally signed by Sublime. So... That should tell you something about their type of music.

My son knows the drummer, Ryan. They live here in San Diego and he's shown up to a few of my sons's gigs to watch them jam (my son's also a drummer). Nice guy.

Saw they were touring but didn't buy tickets. Definitely listened to them a lot during my college days, but kind of grown out of that kind of music in recent years.

Would probably be lots of fun to go to a concert with a bunch of old college friends to relive those days for a bit...but not exactly a date idea to check out with the girlfriend!

Never heard of them, googled them... and well, very relaxing music.

I dig them, pretty decent! My wife was surprised to find out they were white guys after listening to them for awhile.

Have not been to the Aragon in a loooong time. It is old, mid size venue in a close by neighborhood. Never had any problems with it. I was only there twice.

yeah, I'm going with old college friends, otherwise I am not too into that scene anymore either, haha.

They are genuinely talented whether you like that kind of scene or not though, if I were to take a girlfriend that is slightly apprehensive I might not go into the general admission, haha. I hear in concert they really go all out and are a comparatively high quality concert experience.

Awesome, they seem like really cool guys judging from their music videos.

Their songs span a wide variety of music varying in degrees of relaxation, haha.

I only know 2am and closer to the sun, but both are all time favorite songs of mine

I remember them well! I had no clue they were coming to town. Enjoy the show!

I saw the Cramps and Bo Diddley open for the Clash at the Aragon. Also saw Devo - can't remember who opened. Great venue.

That's definitely a great price for a concert ticket these days. And agreed, very talented musicians so I'm sure it'll be a great show.

Only thing I found was some sort of Ska/pop/ambient/slow hop thingy, feel free to suggest more from that band :)
