I'm gonna guess Johny Vegas from Syracuse who have played with Fruvous before and are great guys playing really great music. They got two albums and better be coming out with another one real soon now. The first one is _Dog_ and the second one is _Super Cool American_. Check out http://www.johnyvegas.com (ooh, ick. It isn't resolving and I KNOW that is correct. Maybe they didn't pay their internic bills) NOT www.johnnyvegas.com which is something else... Anyways, Johny Vegas is really good, solid tight music. Their drummer is incredible and they have great bass/drummer pocket. Highly recommended. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 Sep 1998 15:11:55 -0500 From: Marty Blase Subject: Re: Scrabble!

You live in Philly and don't eat cheesesteaks? That's like living in Chicago and not eating pizza. (Or New Orleans and gumbo, for that matter!) I know, it's personal preference (and what's the difference between vegitarian and vegan, by the way?), but still. I can't stand spicy foods, but I'll eat crabs any day (I live near Baltimore). Granted, some chefs put WAY too much Old Bay on their crabs, but I'll eat it anyway, simply 'cuz I know I won't find this stuff done better anywhere else (I wouldn't try Rocky Mountain Oysters if they were fixed in Maryland, for example...but then again, I wouldn't try Rocky Mountain Oysters, period, so I guess I'm invalidating my own argument.) ;) OK, 'nuff shooting from the lip...but check out my other post for a serious question... Trevor ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Sep 1998 13:29:08 -0400 From: Trevor White Subject: A question for all... I've rambled enough for one day, so I'll get right to this. Question for anyone reading this post: What makes you a Fruhead (or Frufan?) More questions later in this post, so keep reading... For me, the hook was "Kick in the Ass" of all songs (I wish they'd do it live...oh, well.). But when I heard the guys harmonizing on "Authors" and "King of Spain", that did it, I was a Frufan on the spot. I think what got me was the well-done harmony. Being an ex-musician myself, I can slightly appreciate the artistry that goes into songs like "King of Spain" and "Authors." The harmony is impossibly pristine in places, and my hat is off to these guys for being excellent musicians outside the studio (which some musicians aren't...anybody ever see Third Eye Blind in concert? YUCK is the general word I got from somebody who had...FWIW.) On the other hand, I get a serious kick out of Fruvous's humor ("Entropy" rules!) Even songs I disagree with (MOST of Fruvous's political songs) are intended in good fun, and I listen to them as such, even though I have opposing political views. So, humor is another of Fruvous's stocks in trade, and that's another reason I'm a Frufan. Yet another reason I love these guys: They're the most down-to-earth bunch of musicians I've seen anywhere. They never take their fans for granted. (At least, that's not the impression I got when I saw 'em in Columbia last, what, June?) They're always ready to talk to their fans after concerts, or so I'm told--most bands would just pack it up and move on, fans or no fans. But these guys aren't afraid to hobnob, and I think that's missing from too many bands these days. So, Fruheads, the money question one more time: WHY ARE YOU A FRUHEAD? While we're at it, what's your favorite song by Fruvous (in my case, "Kick in the Ass")? Who's your favorite non-Fruvous band or artist (mine: Mike Oldfield, of Tubular Bells fame)? Whom would you most like to see open for Fruvous (my answer: Eddie from Ohio)? Whom would you like to see Fruvous open for (to which I'd say, Billy Joel?) What's one thing you DON'T LIKE about Fruvous (my answer: they aren't coming down towards Maryland in the next few months...bummer.) And finally, what's the greatest thing about this newsgroup (my answer: I never would have seen a Fru concert were it not for this NG)? Post away, I'd love to see the answers from newcomers and old faces alike. Maybe if one of the guys sees the response (I know you're out there, Jian) we might hear something special from them at a future concert (I won't hold my breath, though.) Once again, I'm long, but that's it for today, I swear. Catch y'all later. Trevor (The Diet Dew Fru from Towson U.) "Be brave, be true, stand.

Strange but true: one of the burger-n-fries joints in Gatineau (where Ingrid lives, and I used to) serves (or at least served) a pizza-sauce poutine. I was never brave enough to try that one. Apropos factoid: the name poutine is a colloquialization of the quebecois "pouding" for the English "pudding" -- in the older British sense of an agglomeration of ingredients in a main dish, not dessert. There's something very Canadian in that etymology, eh? - -- Lori ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Sep 1998 17:30:50 EDT From: Srm9988n@aol.com Subject: Re: Canadian cuisine? Whooops!
