I saw them a few years at my local House of Blues. Pretty good. I also follow Robyn Adele Anderson (sp), who I think used to date the pianist. She used to be part of the band proper, I think.

I don't know what the cover is, BUT, just listened to a couple more, and I FUCKING LOVE THIS ONE TOO.




I fucking HATE Guns and Roses, but this version of "Welcome To The Jungle" is awesome!




I CAN DIE A FUCKING HAPPY MAN!

I am dead serious I LOVE THIS VERSION OF Blondie's Heart Of Glass!

I'm actually fairly familiar with PMJ, mostly through this video:





Also, I noticed that this was one of their most recent covers.





And now, I can't help but wonder when they'll try a Mills Brothers-style version, just four voices and a guitar (maybe even a 4-string version like John C. uses, maybe a tenor or a baritone uke):





To be fair, the Ink Spots are more popular these days, and might be a more popular choice, mostly because the Mills Brothers didn't license their music to Fallout and Bioshock, but that famous riff that opens EVERY SONG OF THEIRS doesn't seem to fit with "We Can't Stop."

There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING this cover band can do that sucks.

I am DEAD SERIOUS.

They can take ANY song back in time and do just as good if not better!

I LOVE the mixing of the generations and motifs!
This band reminds me of the 1980s Detective/Comedy show "Moonlighting"

One of my FAVORITE songs off of that soundtrack...




Another FAVORITE off the Blue Moon Soundtrack

Very nice, she has one hell of a voice, I will check out the other videos later when I have time to enjoy them. Smile
