Retro: The Origin

This video has more hair flips than a Pantene commercial, but my GOODNESS they were one of the most engaging bands during the 90's. Truly, they were... just a year or two before the entire grunge movement steamrollered everything in rock media...They lost Daniel and gained a new member whose name eludes me, and went sort of hippy dippy for the second album, which turned out to be a pretty solid collection of work...I loved Bend.

Gah, my silly artist's eye has to comment: It didn't hurt that the entire band was very photogenic. You have to love the boys from the West in the 90's. Topper Rimel's hair flips are The Best. I wonder what they are up to now?
