Yes -- I finally located L.Ron about a month ago and i agree that it's their best -- even though both Vegas Throat and Gimmick have their merits. I saw them in concert at the same time that The Stand was first showing on ABC, in fact, the venue (Reptile House) had the bar TV tuned to it. Anyways, the bass player for Barkmarket, John Nowlin, looked exactly like the actor who played Trashman on the mini-series. --He never blew anything up; but their performance was amazing; even for the slim handful of people (less than 20) that turned out for the show. ¥

barkmarket. the best. buy gimmick and search the tiniest basement record stores in brooklyn for "easy listening" vinyl only release... these guys kick my ass and david sardy is a lyrical genius. nobody writes lyrics like this guy. plus now he's a big time producer (dandy warhols, supergrass, marilyn manson, system of a down...)

Great live band, and as Blake above, saw them supporting Pixies in '90, and got Easy Listening (Sonny is still one of my all-time fave tracks) on the basis of that show, but heard nothing more about them and have only recently started tracking down their back catalogue, which I was largely unaware of
