Just started listening to them recently. They're great!

Any recommendations as to what albums one should get?

No Pocky For Kitty and On The Mouth were the only two I ever had, and they were both pretty good pop punk albums. They started to 'mature their sound' in the mid nineties with strings and acoustics and what I heard of that stuff was alright, but I'd kinda lost interest by then. Come pick me up was produced by Jim O' Rourke and is supposed to be not bad. Check out Portastatic too (lead singer's other project.) The Nature of Sap is a really nice record.

on the mouth is the only one i have and is indeed super

Indoor Living is nice, from 1997 I think...

No Pocky for Kitty is deadly.

all their albums while not universally amazing all have cracking individual tracks on them. if you're in the downloadin way - driveway to driveway is a great tune, precision auto, untied, florida's on fire, seed toss, throwing things, martinis on the roof, 1000 pounds, detroit has a skyline, etc etc. PLUS they do go *great* acoustic versions of a lot of their songs aswell. get your hands on them. the rarities bsides compilation they released a while ago has a lot of that stuff on it. cup of sand i think its called.

these guys played the village a few years ago and the place was disgracefully empty. saw them the week before in london and the place was kickin. i'm not sure we'll sever see them in ireland again

portastatic is also a decent side project of mac's .

No pocky is probably my(and most other people's)favourite,I reckon the first four or maybe five a worth checking out. I don't remember what the last one I got was.
The singles comp is good too.

That gig was in the Mean Fiddler wasn't it? I was there. You must have been the other person at the right of the stage. Hiya!

Yeah, no pocket's a deadly album, wasn't so impressed with On The Mouth or Tossing Seeds, which are the only other ones i got. Do they still tour much? Looks from their site they're doing feck all these times?
