Here's a band from NJ that I really enjoyed listening to when I was in college -- and here's a Rick. They're a great band, and I wish they were available on iTunes! They enjoyed quite a following and were quite popular on college radio.

The Feelies are great. I really dig Crazy Rhythms. J, If you want some of their albums let me know.

The fact that you like The Feelies and have a '66 335... it's weird, it's like we have some kind of psychic bond!

Wes - I just ordered "Only Life" on cd from Amazon. I hope it shows up! And Chuck - Rickenbacker minds think alike!

Just saw the 80's incarnation of The Feelies in Montclair NJ on NYE and tthe show was great! There are two new terrific songs !
I believe the only Rickenbacker ever owned by the group is Brenda's 4001.
The clip in this thread is Glenn Mercers' solo group, and I think thats' my converted JG 370 VP

Cool stuff!
My cd never came, despite my efforts with Amazon....I knew the price was too good...

"Time for a Witness" is a terrific record as well. It is great to see that they have been back playing together again.
I remember they were the cover band playing at the high school reunion in the film Something Wild. They did a twisted version of Bowie's "Fame".

They played the 930 Club in DC this past weekend--great show, apparently, with five encores.

...don't know if the author meant a five-song encore set, or five actual encores...

5 actual encores. The group I'm in opened for them in Philly the night before and they had 3 I think! There were almost twice as many folks there in DC, so I guess that works out right!?
PS slamming version of She Said She Said ay?
PS: BTW For the record...that initial clip in the top post is Glenn's solo band, there are 3 Feelies members in it and then me and Bob. Bob plays in a band called Shrubs and sometimes with Patti Smith when she does poetry.

I'm having trouble finding information on shows. I'd love to try to catch one. Is there a 2009 schedule somewhere? Thanks! - Jeff.
