Do any of you have music from these guys? Same singer - Shawn Smith I think. His music is brilliant - I'm totally digging the songs Buttercup and Suffer.

If you like the deep dark slower P songs, well, I can't think of any this minute because my mind is wrapped around SUFFER - if you liked uhh, man, these guys are in their own world.

Moody dark experimental in an early 70's kind of tip. I hear snippets of Stevie Wonder in there. Am I insane? Whatever. Check these guys out.

Shawn Smith sang in both bands, BRAD and SATCHEL. Stone Gossard from Pearl Jam started the band BRAD. Shawn went on to form Satchel, I guess, and he appeared in that JAM song where he sang this line:

"I said hallelujah to the 16th royal fence,
you're getting down on your motherfucking knees..."

Forget the name of that song.

The song Shine from Brad is getting some airplay here in Minneapolis. I find the song rather monotonous. Havn't heard anything else really.

damn! Finally! If its the same Satchel then Satchel had a song called Suffering from the Beautiful Girls soundtrack thats gotta be one of the most beautiful ballads seventies barband style ever.

THANK YOU! YES! That's the one. It's just AMAZING in that 1974 soundtrack kind of way. Impossible to explain if you haven't heard the song.

"and it's time fo' yo' sickness again"

-that's "Battleflag" from the Pigeonhed record The Full Sentence. You have to get that and Brad's 1997 album Interiors. The new Brad album isn't very good, but Interiors is solid.

Also, "Battleflag" is the song that (on the original album version) contained the end rap from "Sexuality" about the tourists and the Accu-Jack. Prince had the Lo-Fidelity All-Stars keep that part off their remix.
