Album Notes: Master Tex-Mex accordionist Flaco Jimenez selected some of his own favorite recordings for this excellent compilation. Songs include \"Viejita,\" \"El Marino,\" and \"Esperanza.\"
...negative but they have done nothing to prove to me that they anything other than 1 hit wonders.
Do they have a website?
Yes and its pretty cool! Lots of animation of their album cover! Lots of info into the band. (who have not really done anything to warrant such a website).
Bios,links, tour info,lyrics,pics, anything you could ask for. They have it.

Brendan B. Brown--guitar, vocals
Rich Leigey--bass (on the album)
Mike McCabe--bass (current)
Peter Brown--drums
Phil A. Jimenez--percussion, keyboards, backing vocals, harmonica

What have they done?
One big hit. Teenage Dirtbag. A follow up...

...who put the video together to go with it, I'm really not convinced that the main song "Teenage Dirtbag" would have made it quite so big without it. Apparently, their album is heading for a third Platinum in Australia and will be available in this country later this month. Comparing the track listing of the album against the enhanced cd single, I reckon the single might be the better buy.
