this track is featured on their latest 12". the title escapes me at the
moment but it is the only 12" they have released AFAIK. i think one track
on there is actually just the drummer. i think the one they play live is a
deviation of it. i agree it is worth seeing them just for this one song,
although i was able to admire the drums for a lot of other songs too. they
are pretty funny as well.
