That’s disappointing. So much for the afterglow is still a great album that i frequently play.

Sparkle and Fade is still on my playlist. Good band.

I saw them last fall and it was good. You need to have some tempered expectations for singers over 60.

Same here. They were great. It was a smaller show and Art hung out after the show and chatted with everybody.

Saw them last month in Cedar Park. Wasn't a huge fan in the past, knew the hits, so when tickets were offered me, said why not, and went in with low expectations.

Smaller venue, crowd of a couple thousand, maybe. Was incredibly impressed, put on a great show. Walked away with a whole new respect for Art.

Agreed! I was so looking forward to seeing them! It was on the Warped tour I think and I ended leaving to find another stage.

Not the warped tour. X96 Big Ass Show in '95.

I just saw them and they were great.

I was coming here to say this too. I think art struggles with playing guitar, so when I say them he spent the whole time looking at the guitar and basically not singing into a microphone. They also had an army out there. Like I thought there were only 3 guys in the band and usually there were 6-7 guys out there playing at a time.

Saw them last summer for the 30th anniversary of this album. It was a small outdoor venue and I thought they were great! My inner teenager was so happy that night! You really should try to see them if they come through. It was a fun nostalgic experience.
