Sidewinders are kind of like a desert version of TAD - everything that could go wrong when they had their well-deserved chance to bust out went wrong.

Keeping with the sun theme...



Got to know Rich and Dave a bit in the early 90's. Here's a handbill from a show where I drank a lot of their beer and they were dumb enough to write their contact info on the back...



A couple more songs. An official video followed by an audience shot live take of their opus 'What She Said' from a reunion late last year. These guys are so good. Deserved a much wider audience...
