I actually know these guys from way back--Ben Karis used to be in a band called the Orange (he's the singer on "Arthur Nix," which was actually a late-period Orange song) that the Suggestions played with all the time. He and all but one of the other guys were in Albany bands before they relocated to Los Angeles (or somewhere in the Southern LA haze) a few years back. They've been touring a LOT, and they're a really solid band, although I have to admit I prefer Ben's songs over Mark's by a longshot. That's my two cents. By the way, anyone who wants to hear a tune or two from the soon-to-be-released Suggestions album "Getting Through" can head to www.sonicbids.com/thesuggestions.
