Good point, Rodney - all that is true. OTOH that still doesn't obligate the band to continue playing a song if they decide they don't want to. I'm gonna sound like a heretic here....I love King Of Spain. It was one of the songs that first got me hooked on Früvous. But the last time I saw them perform it, they did seem to be a little tired of it - as if they were doing it only because they felt they *had* to. Even the hat is looking pretty worn out. Of course I could be mistaken; they might have just been a little off at that particular time, or my observation might have been wrong. Maybe Dave just needs a new hat. k@ "Like he's just really, really far away" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Feb 1999 18:28:10 GMT From: "Phil Schwan" Subject: ATTENTION SHARILYN JOHNSON!!!

It's not as big as Detroit, but it's the biggest in Canada. It takes up the whole playing field of the Skydome, PLUS a floor of the Toronto Convention Centre closeby (or it did a few years ago).

Scrapple is the bad part of the hot dog that hot dog eaters don't want. So scrapple is like the parts of the pig's brain that nobody else wants to eat. Lee's Palace DOES NOT have a will-call window.

Anyway, I wanted to write to Late Night with Conan O'Brien again since the campaign to get them on a talk show (and thus receive national recognition) has died down. I have a feeling Conan would be rather receptive to the lads as he seems to especially be into the new, up and coming bands making it big in the U.S. Hopefully they at least give them a chance and I think a well written letter could be one of the keys to make it happen. If anyone wants to write to Late Night, or one of the other shows feel free to at latenight@nbc.com. Here's what I wrote if anyone needs any ideas: Hello, I would like to suggest an excellent choice for a musical guest to appear on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. That band is Moxy Fruvous. It is made up of 4 lads from Toronto, Ontario who make great music, and are wonderful live performers. They even have a loyal fan following called Fruheads. They started out busking on the streets of Toronto and now have a record contract with Bottom Line Records. They use a variety of instruments from guitars, drums, and bass to accordion, whistles, and keyboards. They are accomplished a capella singers and all 4 members--Jian, Dave, Mike, and Murray--can sing lead vocals. They have been played everywhere from local radio stations to being broadcast on one of the space shuttle missions for their last studio album 'You Will Go to the Moon'. They also have a more recent live album called 'Live Noise', filled with excellent music and banter. Please give them a chance and invite them onto your show, the band themselves have voiced an interest in appearing on Late Night. If you need to contact them they have a webpage at http://www.fruvous.com, an e-mail address: moxy@passport.ca and a phone number: (416) 368-5599.

You had two people compteting against each other, or more if you want, and each had one marshmallow stuffed in their mouth for each round.
