I saw them open for Bob Mould back in the mid 90s. It was the first I had ever heard of them and I thought they were amazing even though the singer's stage presence left a lot to be desired. Industrial hired gun Chris Vrenna was playing drums on that tour so the drums were great. Too bad they didn't have him for the show you saw.

The only album I have by them is How We Quit the Forest which has a couple good songs but overall has never impressed me. I liked them much better live.
