I will say, the last time I saw them play, a couple of years ago, they'd kind of strayed away from the old sound. I think part of it had to do with the revolving door of drummers they had for a while, and as I recall, I saw them just as a trio. Has anyone seen them recently? Any takes or different opinions? ~B~ Top

They are not for everybody... I would liken their audience to Jimmy Buffet's parrotheads- people who go to their show know what they are going to get- a good show and a good time. And when all the ladie sget on stage for "I Wanna See You Bellydance", you know that Igor and crew have succeeded. On the other hand, my friend "Outsides" hated them and left after the first song... -ferenc — Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp Buy Spin the Bottle @ Bandcamp My Blog- Euro Tour Blog Pool Boys on Spotify INSTAGRAM Frankie & The Pool Boys on FB Pollo Del Mar on FB DJ Frankie Pool Boy on North Sea Surf Radio Top

RE was just a little too "novelty" for my taste and after Pollo played, I wanted to keep it pure! -outsides- With Vigah! Top
