Absolutely dying at the caption for the band’s wiki page:

Haha. Could be wrong, but I think that pic is from the free show they played at the Lincoln Park Zoo with the Biscuits
It used to say something about a chili cook off IIRC. And they actually did play a chili cook off once, right?

I’m currently listening to this GYM(RH). Seems like the whole first 50 minutes is a smoke show.
I met Quad at Ribfest 2005, took a bus from the Store. Great fucking times!

Correct. I remember it was one of the first truly warm days of spring and traffic getting to Lincoln Park Zoo was a nightmare.
I was at both rib fest and chili cook-off.
I will be signing autographs in the Chilis parking lot after the show.

Said it back during the most recent west coast run but a huge shame the way they’ve been playing essentially they’re only playing 5 shows in 2 cities the whole 4th quarter 2022. Some great highlights and jamming consistently throughout 2022.

Considering Metallica went after Napster and Goose likes to give away a lot of free music, I’d say this is a terrible comparison.

micro_gaze has been one of the biggest um haters on the green board for years now. He hates post Mirro UM yet takes the time to chime in every chance he can get whenever um comes up.
Not trying to crap on Mirro years. There is some good stuff in there. That said, probably not going to take anyone who prefers pre-2003 UM to post-2003 UM too seriously.

I enjoy dipping back into those years from time to time, and I’ll even acknowledge that it’s possible to prefer that era of UM. But if some douchebag shit-poster on the internet is loudly proclaiming to the world that Mirro-era UM is great and everything after is shit, it is clearly 0% actual music opinion, 100% trying to look cool.
