Tantrum had a couple LPs, and I still own both. Saw them play a bar gig, and they were really good in a Heart/Benatar/1994 (Karen Lawrence) kinda way.

dude on the right in Jett looks disturbingly familiar. Maybe Flea's cousin or something.

God, when will the uniform thing ever come back?

Warm is such an awesome name for a 70s bar band.

God, when will the uniform thing ever come back?

We were having a meeting about a band that was really fashion-challenged, and I asked, "Is there any chance we could turn them into a uniform band?" There were literal gasps of horror.

I didnt realize Warm played at Woodstock.

yeah it's weird i looked up woodstock on wiki and the actual bill was so much different than what was depicted in the movie!

like CCR and Incredible String Band played, bunch of big stuff got left off plus some weirdos like Warm etc

The two blokes on the right in Wheatstone Mission seem to have wandered in from the present day
