Press Reviews Roadbed was a band I'd never even heard of, but wow! they were just revolutionary. They played a strange cross between straight jazz and Flin Flon-esque minimalism, and dressed like The Super Friendz - ridiculously large pink glasses, toques with earflaps, big nasty sideburns. The music was incredible and most of us sat in awe through their whole set. "for a band that sings about food and spiritual enlightenment they sure do rock" Carl Fatman distinguished Journalist
