Sorry J - according to their MySpace listings:

Anyone know anything about them?

Thanks for that link! I already had them as a friend. Yeah, I like them, too. Those are going to be some sweet evenings.

I have tickets to both Athens shows, I am out of money. :'( I may still try and go, it depends on how the sperm bank works out for me.

Let me know when you guys finish that badboy up.

"Follow the Train" is playing Feb. 24 at Headliner's with "Wax Fang"...good chance to check them out before the Spring shows in Asheville and Athens!!!

Kory · Feb 06, 2007, 05:20 PM

Yep, I'll be going to that, The Features will be there too!

i LOVE the features!!! did you catch them back in October when they played at Uncle Pleasant's? there were about 30 people there. it was pretty cool to see them so close and they were still rocking it out and loud as ever! can't wait for this show! 3 GREAT BANDS for $8!

Also...an interesting "Follow the Train" link to MMJ.

Anyone who was at Bonnaroo 2006 probably remembers the bearded guitartist (Mike Sabo) that came out and played with them on a couple of songs. Well...he is now the guitarist in "Follow the Train"!!!

Another member of Follow The Train is very tight with MMJ - "The Man" from the Okonokos video, aka Brandon Jones. :) Alas, they don't have alpacas in the band...

i noticed the similar names, but didn't realize it was the same person!

i had some friends that went to Manual with Brandon Jones and they said he was doing the acting thing...didn't know he also played! this should be a fun little tour for both bands since they are good friends!

[size=22]WHAT?????[/size]
god. damn. it.
ok when are these shows?
man.
maaaaaaaaaaan.

EC · Feb 16, 2007, 08:05 AM

seeeeeriously, i could hardly sleep. this is such a terrific line up. you know how sometimes you go to shows with your friends who may not care about music as much as you do, so they hold you back from the opening bands?

do not let this happen. you've gotta go see these two bands together.
for me. do it for me because i can't.
son.of.a.bitch.

but just to throw this into the world, this would be a GREAT lineup for a tour of canada. just sayin'.
