Their musical expertise totally blew me away, (no pun intended, I swear). 
Do you know off hand if they'll be playing San Francisco anytime soon? Are 
they keeping up with the insane stage antics?

While there were a fair amount of obvious provocative statements the stage 
persona of Mike was of a California Latino with pencil mustache and 
slicked back hair. He looked the part of a fairly dangerous border 
dweller. His stage presence was very commanding and he'd go from whisper 
to a scream visually as well as vocally...
