I was very surprised when I went to see them live on the IOG tour - 2002

 

small club, early show, filled with...... hippies?

 

now, granted, I had never looked them up, read an article - nothing

 

I only knew them through their music

 

I was not expecting to be the only person in the room (besides the band themselves and the bartenders) wearing a button-up long-sleeve shirt

people were actually playing hacky sack in the center of the club, smoking clove cigarettes (this was before the ban), and wearing Ethiopian crocheted beanies to cover their bleached dreads

 

it felt like a Phish or a Grateful Dead show

again - the band themselves arrived on stage to loud applause and - dressed like Ivy League college students, launched into a setlist without the faintest whiff of patchouli or jam band or peace and love

 

the crowd of smiling hippies loved every second and even sang along

 

I can count on one hand the number of times I've been so taken aback by the surroundings/crowd at a show I attended

 

this Gomez show might top the list

So, beyond IOG, what should I spend my time on?

 

I don't wnat to waste it, I have a lot of music to get to.

Bring It On (debut) was my first taste, and some of my favorite songs are there - that one's worth a listen

 

most of the rest of my favorites reside on IOG

 

scattered here and there, a few more gems
