    Too much prog-fusion, too little porn-funk for my taste. I would prefer something aesthetically closer to this:

    Indeed; somewhere between the s/t Egg and Softs' Volume Two. Been ages since I spun the Traveling CD - must revisit soon.

    Yes, they could.

    I believe "Not Alone" from Open City was recorded live in a radio studio; that thing remains one of the most impressive performances I ever heard by any "rock" artist.

    Well, here's coming from a guy (me!) whose own band made their live debut in a radio studio, with the drummer - who was usually quite good - absolutely scared shitless of performing even the slightest roll on a tam, and then going for beers at my place later on and being played The Muffins' Open City with me insisting that "[...] this dude's name is Paul Sears and listen to what he does here, will'ya?" Utter silence occuring, donning long face and a lame look in eye.

    Band didn't last long.

    I never saw Paul 'scared' to perform. He was pretty ferocious in those days.

    It's his birthday, today, btw AND the 38th anniversary of his live debut with the Muffins, which took place at American University on October 2, 1976!

    Happy Birthday AND happy anniversary, Paul!

    lots of love!

    Precisely! Which was what I'd like to see my own drummer be back in '92...

    Funny about today being his birthday, tho -

They were by no means "like MGP", but shared their influences and expressed them.

    What about Norwegians, Panzerpappa?


    They seem to fit with aesthetic being discussed.

    +1 on those birthday wishes. Paul is a monster drummer. Chainsaw Jazz is another impressive display of drumming. All those guys are cool -- Tom Scott made me a wooden box for my vinyl copy of Air Fiction and had the band all sign it. Tight!

    Good friends of mine. But they are a current act, so not really belonging to that other bunch. Pappzi's main influences are, AFAIK, Zamla/Hollmer, Hatfield/Health, Krimso, HtMan and further RIO-type of stuff like allthings Momo Rossell, HCow (and some Frith solo), mid-80s UZero, Miriodor, some Birdsongs, allthings Kerman/Drake et al.
