[@grantivie]

100% right. They're absolutely insane at shows. I saw them in Nashville a couple months back, Erick climbed the fucking rafters like 15 feet up, and hung upside down, then jumped off and started humping the air more furiously than a gang bang video or something. I cried. Also, Schuyler crowd surfed with his keys and played at the same time. Phenomenal show. Best live performance you'll ever see.

[@gabrielaespino3547]

I just now discovered this guy and his band. It started with an Electric UniCycle video by @Zen Lee when he used the track ‘DownTown’. Never listen to Macklemore before (heard of him tho).

[@judyharder6777]

+WowLifeIsAJoke I'm doing my best!!

[@ChrisPC11]

+Aaron Oliver You wanna know the REAL truth? The label didn't push the band themselves enough. When Foxy put the album out, it was on IRS Records, and was like the only album they made under it. I was promoting the band heavily throughout the TC during "Church Of Rock & Roll" era. Why wasn't Foxy getting the press and publicity like the should've? Ask the record label. Turns out rock music takes a back seat to pop music unless you're a BIG TIME band or star. At least in some cases. Not with all, but some."GON5O" was independently produced and distributed. Totally made by Foxy. Anyways, I was working with all the labels belonging to EMI/Capitol and in 2013, many artists were shuffled around and moved out west. Like seriously. It was nationwide and more and they were all moved to Capitol on the west coast. Some artists were even moved to completely new labels. Coldplay is one example. Hope that helps.

[@originalsamshu1]

+ChrisPC11 Its a real shame. I know Eric will continue to have a higher profile career but the dynamic of the band was really original and had great potential... especially with Alex and Schuyler keeping things interesting. Oh well, maybe a reunion thing could happen down the road. The labels blew it but sometimes the public has to be hit over the head with talent before its recognized.

[@zinganimationstudios165]

I liked it with ALL my accounts

[@gccgeo8028]

Did the band break up? I saw them a few years back when they were touring with Slash and they were great.

[@Chompobar]

Holy falsetto. 2:58 Saw these guys live a few months ago. Great concert. :)

[@mistershablagoo]

I wish there was a live version with that on it

[@redadamearth]

@@mistershablagoo I've never seen him hit the high notes he hits on the albums, live. Not once. Doesn't mean he hasn't, but in the live performances I've seen, he can't even get close to them - not even the notes on "Oh, Lord", which aren't even that crazy. So, I have no idea if they just do multiple takes on the albums until he reaches it just once or if they're pitch-shifted or what, but he's obviously not the kind of singer Freddie Mercury was, who could hit the album notes anytime/anywhere. I think Nally has a fantastic voice, obviously and I'm not saying he doesn't; it's brilliant - but I think they either pitch-shift on the albums and mask the edit points or at the very least, they just wait until he comes into the studio REALLY in voice one day, when it comes to the more outrageous notes being hit.
