Hi- I am a new fan and just posted my first post re how I got into MMJ on the sticky under The Band. It's The Who and Pearl Jam's fault.

Here is my review of my first MMJ show I posted on a Who forum I belong to. Hardly anyone on the Who forum (165 members) has ever hear of MMJ:

Wow. Quite a show. Exceeded expectations. I jumped online when I got home and bought tickets for the Saturday show. Hope I can find someone to go with. Will try to drag my non-computer brother tomorrow (today I mean). These guys really know how to channel a wide variety of rock genres, and with superb originality. Hard, soft, psychedelic, jammy, dreamy, soaring, you name it. Great vocal range, more vocals than a jam band, less than mainstream. Very cohesive instrumentals. Drummer is fun to watch too, as he bangs like Bonham. So much for needing to hear "hits". I don't think they get radio play, I didn't know any of their songs, none of their lyrics, they played no covers, but the music was overpowering, bordering on intense at times. Not a single dud song. Even when I started to think "This might be a bathroom break" they would segue into pure aural pleasure. Coupla times they even made My Wife pogo. It is so refreshing to discover a new band. If you are in Denver and I've made you curious, well what more can I say? Have I ever steered you wrong? Only $25 plus TM too. Ogden Theater. Doors at 7. Rock lives. Thought I would share. Wow.

Nothing would have kept me from it. I will have several more comments and questions about this new band in my life in the next day or two.
