Also, re; picture of them in above post, does her hair still look like that, teased way out and all? (referring to the girl on the right)?
Kudos, though. Kudos! |

| | | ^plus they played the UK this passed summer, I think.
Anyway, I've seen them a few times since 1999 and to be honest, they are hit or miss. Cindy can still fuck the shit out of "Dance This Mess Around", though. The new single is pretty good, I hope the rest of the album is just as fun ... I mean the last album was "Good Stuff" and aside from the title track and "Revolution Earth", it was kinda boring. |

There is a video of them at the Shoreline Amp. in Cali doing "Cosmic Thing" in 1990 and they look like they are having sooo much fun. Cindy just doesnt move like that anymore. |
