Mike, the SS list comparing the Young Fresh Fellows to the Silver Sun is
lost on me too. VERY different bands to my ears in terms of sound.

If your tastes run towards sloppy three-chord guitar rock with occasional
country influences and lyrics and vocals set more or less permanently on
"sarcastic smart-ass," then the Young Fresh Fellows are your band.
That sums it up. I saw them live many years ago and have longed to see
them again, but I have not had the chance. Live they were exactly how one
would hope and more. They were having fun, and just rocking with kind of a
garage spirited recklessness. That said, the drummer is one of my all time
favorite drummers that I've ever seen live. Per he was so dam goofy. I
assume this is standard for him but...
He had one of his symbols set straight up in the air, ridiculously high over
his head, so he'd have to really stretch to even reach it. It was funny
enough to watch all this herky jerky activity but all the while he had this
pasted on faux confident/cocky smile. He was hard not to watch.
Also, They Might be Giant's pay homage to them in a song with the line "she
took my favorite Young Fresh Fellow records"....a line I always liked.
