Well, I have to say the concert was most excellent. It always surprises me how much noise two people can make. It was just the two of them on stage all night rocking it out.
I couldn't sleep when I got home because the tunes were still ringing in my ears.
It would be quite funny if instead of lighters being flicked during the concert ,everyone started waving Crest Whitestrips lol

I must be living in a dark hole or something... I did a quick Wiki search too, and they have been around for 10 years come July 14th, 2007. They were even on the Simpsons (which I haven't seen in ages either)... I guess I just don't have time any more to explore new (to me apparently) music... Heck, I have a hard time even sitting down with enough time to make it through HALF of a movie at a time any more... I suspect that others don't know who they are either, but are afraid to speak up (chicken). Oh well, I'll "take one for the team." I wonder how the concert was? I am sure that it was great, and we will here that...

If you guys enjoy the "duo sound", I *highly* recommend a band called The Black Keys out of Akron, OH. They are often compared to the White Stripes (and not just because of name!). I have seen them perform live, and that is where they really shine. Their recordings don't quite do them justice (though they were on the School of Rock soundtrack).
Interestingly, they pride themselves on low-fidelity recordings. Again, worth a listen.

I happened to see them on one of the late night shows (Leno or Letterman probably) a lot of years ago and was really impressed.
It's always impressive how much music a good guitarist can put out. I liked the Stray Cats for the same reason.
P.S. For anyone in the Toronto area who didn't get a chance to see FM in the early days, I still think they were maybe the best two piece band I have heard yet.

If you've never heard them live, then you really should pick up "Lost in Space" (a collection of early demos) from Nash's web site. To me this is what FM really sounded like, much more so than any of their studio recordings. Album list
