Relatively few people were there for Fruvous. But they won the over the crowd. During a workshop with the Arkansas duo Trout Fishing in America, Jian held up a local newspaper article that lauded Trout ("Quite a catch!" read the headline) without mentioning Fruvous. The band then launched into a song that began: They're... Quite a catch! And... Maybe we suck-- The crowd loved it, of course. But the real test came during the evening show, when it began to rain toward the end of the show. Many in the crowd started getting up to leave, including the large family in front of us. At that moment, the band burst into Psycho Killer. The dad in front of us stopped as if he'd been hit with a board. "Talking Heads," he whispered, and stood there with his arms full of stuff transfixed as he listened to the band transform that amazing song. It was just grand.
