I was a fan of these guys from the beginning. Use to go see them play in front of 4 people out in Long Island during my college years, then saw them share the mid size stages with bands like Spacehog and Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

The band broke up a few years back, but put together a super comprehensive website going over the whole bands history. Even better, they have put every single recorded song they ever did up as a REMASTERED MP3 for anyone to download.

Give em a shot. If you want a reccomondation, I say D/L the 'Progress' MP3's. (Green Boob Cover). Dicky from the Bosstones does shared lead vocals on the Neil Diamond cover 'Cherry Cherry'.... You can't go wrong with any of the MP3's though....

Hope ya enjoy...

*bump for a band that I loved*

i wish they had a different name

Well, for the third record, they went with 'CFP'

but otherwise, the make-up wouldnt have made much sense. so the name worked for em...

the main guys Deano and Johnny own a bar on the east side, NYC.. forgot what its called.

I've been looking for loud -- I'll check it out when I get home tonight. Thanks, D!
