I think it's kind of sad they still get enough mindless marks to come to their shit show that it actually warrants them still playing shows.

Tell us how you really feel.
Seriously, I wonder if this was the issue I had with the show I saw in '98. I remember it being lackluster, but can't recall exactly why.

Saw em open for Social D on the Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell tour circa 1992, damn good at that time...

Yep, same lineup in Omaha, NE. I don't remember a thing about the Best Kissers, truth be told...

Not a lot to remember about them, honestly. One of the many also-rans in the Great Grunge Sweepstakes of the early 90s. not terrible though:

I've always liked this band when I hear them, then completely forget about them right away. I hear more of a Doughboys/Big Drill Car vibe than Mudhoney, at least in that song.
