Oops. Turns out they were the best band of the last 20 years.

I saw the dB's open for REM in the Quad Cities on Halloween night, 1987. I think I must have been the only one there interested in seeing them, as no one else paid any attention. They even left the lights up when they played. Unfortunately, Chris Stamey was not with the band at the time.
