Just for fun.  :toast:

It's a fusion of Superfloor and a befriended band called Black Top.

We call ourselves Definition Of MadMen
Here's a Masters Of Reality cover we do:

Haha, yeah the fat one on the last hit!

The pics and vids of the recording session were shot by the drummer. Just after we finished recording our parts.

What you hear is the modified Epi JCS through my Ampeg V4B.
Actually one of the guitars was also done on that V4B.  With volume on 10! Really.
Killer guitar sound straight in the amp, no pedals

The funniest part of that is the tag line... "Lean meat with a crusty top".

Yessir, that kind of sums it up!

I like it!  Reminds me of Julius Wechter and the Baja Marimba Band.

I had never heard of them until you mentioned them, but now I'm their biggest fan.
