Okay, so, I'm *very* excited to be going to the Philly show, but not so excited to be going alone :( Is there anyone going to the show who wouldn't mind meeting up? I'm driving up from Baltimore sometime that day, I haven't really decided when. It would be nice to put faces to names, and all that good stuff :) Plus, I wouldn't look like quite so much of an idiot surrounded by other fans!

D-D-Damn!!! That was quite a welcome from all of you. Ya know, up until a few weeks ago, I didn't even know MF existed. I heard about 'em from NPR's Web site. The interview played "My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors" and I thought to myself "Self, these guys seem kind of cool and flavorful. Maybe you should check them out." Two CD's later and I'm hooked (...Moon and Live Noise, in case you're wondering. That's all I've been able to find so far. Honestly I haven't looked very hard, though.) Imagine my surprise when I discovered AMMF, and the rather large number of posts contained therein. Apparently I'm a little late to jump on the bandwagon. How do talented people like MF go so long unnoticed? Oh, woe is media. I guess they're a bit too intellectual for the average MTV viewer. ***************************** WARNING!!! The following is a PLUG FOR A MUSICIAN that is NOT a member of Moxy Fruvous. I apologize in advance if this is bad behavior, but I wouldn't mention it if I thought no one would enjoy it. Please feel free to berate me if I've faux pas'ed, and I'll not do it again. ***************************** Hey, a suggestion to anyone who's interested...another largely overlooked talent (who's not a Canadian) is a guy named Mike Keneally. He's got a lyrical wit and pop sensibility similar to Fruvous, though his music is much more technical. He used to play with Frank Zappa, if that tells you anything. Mr. Keneally also has his own newsgroup (alt.music.mike-keneally) and Web site (www.moosenet.com/keneally.html) if you feel so inclined. - - B.T. ------------------------------ Date: 18 Jan 1999 22:32:22 -0800 From: "Jason A.

How do talented people like MF go so long unnoticed? Never too late to jump on the bandwagon. Especially if you live in a place Fruvous doesn't visit frequently, having people spread the word is the best promotion they can get. As for being "unnoticed", they were very noticed "in the beginning". They were pretty huge in Canada post-Indie Tape until Wood. Check out the Real Audio show at the Tivoli (link from FDC's Multimedia page at http://www.fruvous.com/media.html). It's from a time when screaming fans filled the seats. Now they are more of a grassroots type of band. They cultivate fans and let them be maniacal if need be. We pay them to allow us to promote them.
