I have seen Big Head Toad and the Monsters a few times. In South Florida, we had some really good bands that never made it nationally. Don't forget Chase, the hard driving horn band that lost members in a plane crash after three albums. their leader, Bill Chase, was not only surpassing Maynard Ferguson as THE supreme screaming trumpet player, but all my rock buddy fans liked his Chicago/Blood,Sweat and Tears type rock arrangement, too. Before he started this band, Woody Herman picked him up and added, "...and The Thundering Herd" to his band title.
