Yea, Cap'n Jazz is awesome. They're the same members as the Owls except
for one person (they also share members with Joan of Arc, American
Football, etc)... Their re-issue on Jade Tree is amazing.
They're from Wheeling, a suburb of Chicago, BTW. They recorded that in
high school. They're all still around Chicago as "The Owls."
