Ty drove my dad's Mini Cooper around when i saw them - he's a big fan, i'm sort of indifferent to them...they have a few songs i like but i'm not into Pinnick's contributions.
Another band i think is the most underrated band ever is XTC.

yeah I was there too, although I didn't hang for the meet and greet as it was late and I've seen and met them many times.
here's my review:

Some of the nicest guys in the business.
First time i saw them was a cold winter night in '89, we were waiting to get in and Jerry thanks us all for being there and offers to get us hot coffee to warm up.
Somewhere i have a photo of my wife and i with Doug, super cool dude.
I used to have a Yamaha Ty Tabor signature guitar, one time after a show i went to the car and grabbed it and found Ty by their bus, i said "Hey Ty, would you sign my cavity?", he looked puzzled as hell then saw i was holding one of his sig models with the control cavity exposed (i hate autographs on guitar bodies), he had a good chuckle after that and was gracious as could be.
I saw them in Springfield, MO for the Black Like Sunday tour, this is their unofficial hometown where the cut their teeth and the venue was a smoky little blues joint. I was amazed the number of people who had Sneak Preview albums for them to sign - these were some pretty hardcore fans. Probably one of their best performances for me. After the show they indicated they were hanging out for a while and we were welcomed to stop by the bus.
Now that I think more about it, if they would have achieved any more success they wouldn't be able to be so accessible to their fans. I was very impressed with the sold-out turn out in minneapolis thurs. night. prob. 700 or more. And they spent over an hr. at meet and greet after for prob. about a fourth of that crowd, but i have no doubt they would have stayed as long as necessary. Last time I saw them in Atlanta in 2009, smaller crowd but same thing. I love theisr music, sound, songwriting,etc. but it just adds something when you know that their just three good down to earth talented guys who are so passionate about music, and love to make music they and their fans love.
I can't help thinking the Kings X guys are more than happy with the way their career turned out. I think they love there "best band in the world that no one's ever heard of" status.
Jerry makes a vague comment about new music towards the end of this interview
