Excellent band - the best group to come out of the whole Britpop era, in my opinion, with none of the recognition that the other bands got.
In It For The Money is an amazing record - one of my all-time favorites. And Coco and LOOP are a blast from start to finish. The third, self-titled one didn't really do it for me, and I'm still getting used to Rouen, but I do like it.
Saw 'em a couple of weeks ago in NYC - by far the most varied show of theirs I've seen (I think it was my 9th). Acoustic sets, Gaz solo at the piano for a couple of songs, some weird arrangements of older songs, and of course at the end, the full-band Supergrass experience for all the warhorses.
They had a different keyboardist this time around - it wasn't Gaz's brother Rob. Weird.
