PopTodd Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I love this band.M.O.T.O. = ""Masters Of The Obvious" They're from Chicago and play 2- and 3-chord punk songs with hooks that you'll find yourself singing at the most opportune moments:Walking down the hall of your office:"You don't have to be a dick about it, dick about it, dick about it!!!!" Any fans? They are incessant self-promoters, so I wouldn't be surprised if Paul was here and got himself kicked off the board for pimping himself too much. But the bottom line is that they are insanely great, primitive rock and roll. And Paul Caporino is a twisted genius. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Steve Brule Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Love them. For a while Ryan, Wilco's light guy was also drumming with them, but he quit to play with Vee Dee full time. Well, full time being when Wilco's not on tour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
