Not my kind of music, but they’re a good, tight, rocky band. I hope they do well!
“If we’re going to allow simpsons as sitcom then family guy, and south park too?”
Knoath!
+ Daria.
To quote Wiki.
“a situation comedy has a storyline and ongoing characters in, essentially, a comedic drama. The situation is usually that of a family, workplace, or a group of friends through comedic sequences.”
“Seinfeld, Arrested Development, Modern Family, 30 Rock, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Louie and arguably…The Simpsons.”
+ M.A.S.H, Frasier, Rosanne, South Park, Futurama, Malcom in the Middle, Everybody Hates Chris, Bewitched, Get Smart… yeah, those Americans, couldn’t write a sitcom to save their lives.
“The prosecution rests…(With the exception of the Simpsons which I believe don’t fit the sitcom bill.)”
Simpsons not sitcom! perhaps you need to look up the definition of sitcom.

lol @ philly, how can you not love a show that features Danny DeVito on acid. That show is pure genius.

Never heard of this band until this, and glad I did. After listening to them I feel like I’ve just been fisted by a Russian tank! AWESOME.
They’re even better live.

The best way for Canberra bands to get national radio attention is to have their music burned by s***ty American television shows.

And I’m sure TONK would agree that Steel Panther are a great conduit for their ripped music.
Having just been made aware of Tonk’s existance through this fine journal, I have just now bought their album “Sister Switchblade” through a popular music download service.
F*** How I met Your Mother – we had SBS’s now defunct ‘Costa’s Garden Odyssey’ play our track, literally note for note without permission…
