"The gig was a triumph," remembers Michael. "Any nerves were channeled straight through the front-of-house. I'll never forget looking out into the crowd of a couple dozen and seeing heads bobbing up and down to the beat. We ran through our set, warmed the audience so well that it cheered down a drunken heckler, played an encore — and for the first time in my garage band experience, accepted compliments afterward from perfect strangers."

Such a reception would characterize each performance of the band's short run.
