	Glad you liked it Cacho! Hopefully the teams give their approval If you liked this EP you should definitely check out "Beardfish", I feel a lot of similarities between the two bands

	Cool band! Very funky from what I'm hearing with a Alternative feel, good jazzy keys and guitars somewhat Zappa-ish. The vocals are similar to one of the many vocalist Zappa had, the one from Village of the Sun on Roxy & Elsewhere, well at least in 'Only When Provoked' Very good band Mike! It would be nice if the EP was released here.

	No, I don't have an EP of this band. I'm actually more inclined towards Xover with this one based on those tracks (I'd forgotten about "Clinical"). Would need to hear the EP to consider it for Eclectic. Good band.
	Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

	Hey Logan, do you have the whole EP (all 5-tracks)? Anyways, good to hear there's interest. I've been listening to this thing non-stop the last couple of days (as evidenced in my signature). If the team approves and needs a bio I'd be happy to do it - and the album addition. IF they approve, that is

	Hi Mike, I listened to this yesterday, but didn't get around to responding. I don't know Beardfish that well, but get the similarities. I think it is on the Crossover side of Eclectic. It's very nice, jazzy/ funky rock with mainstream/ alternative elements. They don't mention Rush as an influence, but I sure get that from the first track. I'm going to want to spin this a few times before giving a definitive answer (I'd like it in art rock, and lean towards Eclectic).

	Recently I came across this band on MySpace, and it looks like they've just released their debut, 5-track EP. Listening to the music, not only is it really good, but I think they deserve a shot at a place in PA. They have a wildly funky bass in all of their songs, pronounced keyboards and some very experimental and excellent instrumental parts in all of their songs. You have to check out Puppy Gardener, which is the longest of the tracks and probably my favorite. To describe their sound I'd say it's like Beardfish on drugs thinking they're the Red Hot Chilli Peppers (which does not deract from their progness, I might add ). Godsticks' MySpace I say eclectic only because I can draw the most parallels to Beardfish, someone else may find a better fit for them. Looking forward to what other proggers have to say!
