This Live shirt uses the front artwork of their 2001 album V in a slightly restructured format, and the chronology of dates is consistent with their tour with Jane's Addiction of late in that year. Humorously, the city of Chicago is misspelled as "Chicargo". No copyright text is present, as the group had long since come out of contract with Brockum by this point, and merchandising tags were less prevalent by the early 2000s.
I remember always hating this band and especially having to watch them in videos on Mtv. But then in 2001 album V was gifted to me as a birthday present by a not so close friend. He told me it was his album of the year. So I had to listen to it as I knew he'd demand a review...and guess what...it turned out to be one of my most played records that year! Such a great album...keeping very well in touch with modern musical evolution of that time but not chumming up but rather representing a rediscovered excitement in playing. So good, that I didn't dare to check out anything by them released after V. Might be a fault?!
That's an excellent recount, I've done 180s with bands like that before. I'll always have a spot for this band; Selling The Drama was the first song I learned to play on guitar back in '95 and I got Throwing Copper on CD earlier that year. I tend to favor their early to mid-'90s catalog most, but I enjoy just about everything they've put out. Are you familiar with their stuff before V too?
