S: I was wondering if therer are any other contemporary bands that you'd
consider your peers, because of thinking of you in the same breadth with
the Blues Explosion or Royal Trux - those are bands that I think pay tribute
to a certain sound, whereas there's other bands around that are blues-based or
blues-influenced that are more of a continuation, something that comes organi-cally [italics]
Marcellus: I've got a list of bands that play blues here. You wanna see it?
It's ike all the bands that everybody's talking about nowadays.
(Marcellus pulls up a little black book).
S: The only bands I would think of in the same breadth with y'all - and it's not
even similarity of sounds, it's not even close to that - are the Grifters and Doo
Rag. [italics]
Dave: We get the Grifters, actually.
Marcellus: Read them all aloud.
S: Beck, P.J. Harvey, Jon Spencer, Blues Explosion- the Blues Explosion are a
funk band - Palace Brothers, Grifters, Railroad Jerk, Royal Trunx, Gibson
Brothers, Workdogs and Doo Rag. Royal Trux are an arena rock band now. \
