man, the last show i played, a "punk" band set up with the precision of a military squad. they had their positions, and took care of things quickly! they didn't complain about the little time they had, or no sound check, they got to work and went at it. i've never in my life before or since seen a group so organized for a show. i was shocked!

I'm thinking in particular of a band from Cedar Rapids called 'Whaleboy' that was basically Dave Matthews Creed.
