Root!

[ripitup27]

Has anyone heard this band? Led by former singer in TISM. Pretty cool. Dress in cowboy hats and look all country but they sound very TISMish.

Some classic song titles as well.

Their lead singer is Humphrey B. Flaubert, who was one of the two lead singers in TISM (Ron Hitler Barassi being the other).

And they do a very fine song on Tex Perkins that has been mentioned in another thread recently.

I believe ROOT! was also the name of an early TISM song.....

Still, the name isn't as good as the late Jock Cheese's extra curricular band....Blind Lemon Chicken

Melbourne prog pioneers.

I mentioned this at the start of September

I can't understand the TISM references either, the lead singer is clearly Darren Hayes from Savage Garden.

You are indeed correct. There was a lot of confusion about it and clearly I was still confused.

Not any more though

Saw them on a visit to Melb earlier in the year. Totally brilliant.

Isn't it a few members of TISM besides Humphrey?
