Where have you gone? the Getaway People

Really, there is nothing worse that falling for a band/artist looking forward to what's coming next, to only find that there is no next.  Back in college, I was receiving the CMJ New Music Monthly , at the time a premier music magazine full of reviews, great articles and awesome musical tidbits.  My favorite were the R.I.Y.L. section of the album reviews.  The reviewer would mention a couple other bands that were similar or reminiscient.   It always made me think, rather than hey here's four bands just like this new band, I'd much rather read, something like the classic Tenacious D intro: "Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Molly Hatchet could not be here tonight, but they all had sex and are proud to announce the birth of their two-headed baby, Tenacious D." In the case of the Getaway People , after hearing 'She Gave Me Love' via CMJ New Music Monthly  I felt Beck and  G. Love had many an every so poptastic funky offspring. the Getaway People - &#
