They did the music for the best "Post-apocalyptic-Buddy Holly-Samurai" movie EVER! Six String Samurai... They were fun...

See, I have to say as much as I like them, and like the older stuff they put out (especially the live album from The Great American Music Hall). 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?

Pollo has played with them twice this year, both times the audience was packed, and dancing, and singing along. 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...

That would be me. RE was just a little too "novelty" for my taste and after Pollo played, I wanted to keep it pure!
