extra action marching band

There's a great new article about my favorite band ever, The Extra Action Marching Band. Look at the picture, then read the article

I went to this year's hippie-laden Mountain Aire Festival mostly because EAMB got added to the show (although I'm glad I caught Ween, they rock) (And remind me to tell you sometime about the dumb hick at the convenience store in the town where that festival was held who wouldn't take a passport for an ID because she thought it didn't look official). Anyhow. EAMB makes me want to break out my clarinet and my flame thrower at the same time. Well I don't actually have a flame thrower ...yet.

They're playing at Burning Man again this year. Which, btw, I leave for tomorrow morning. So this may be my last post until September 2nd.
