 I got a kick out of this review ! I think it sums us up pretty good  ;D We are #50 on the list, not a ranking just in date order. http://rateyourmusic.com/list/Zed/concerts/

Believing in yourself is the key to success...(now I'm sounding like a self-help book.)

To me it was like Spinal Tap, but these guys were 100% serious.

Whether or not he intends it, that's a very nice compliment.

At least you got a bit of a write up from him. Some of those bands only got an "opened for bandx" next to their name. I would take it as a compliment to. Nothing worse than watching a band play music they really don't care about, and your band cares! I always enjoy the video clips you post here.

Only thing worse than watching a band play music they don't care about....is actually playing music you don't care about...

I truly like most of the music I play, and this is a blessing. Music (when done right) is magical, almost sacred...

+1...I enjoy the clips also...keep on rockin'

I would go to a Johnny Smoke gig based on that review.  it's a real treat to watch a band give 100%.

I have a Johnny Smoke CD in my collection! With the bass overly loud in the mix but of course Herr Dasson tells his bandmates otherwise!
