    You can tell they loved being in this band. I wish I had the connections and they ability to get Fair to Midland back together. They were criminally underrated and should have gotten a lot more successful than they did. Sure, they got further than 99.9% of bands ever will but they had the talent and the passion to go further. It’s a damn same we’ll never known what could have been if they had stuck around…
    It was also a fucking stroke of genius to incorporate throat singing into their music who the fuck else would have ever thought to do that?! It actually inspired me to learn how to do it just for the sake of learning how, and I’ve had a fucking blast learning how to do it and use Dance of the Manatee and Rikki Tikki Tavi for practice lmao.

    I first saw them when they opened up for Dir en grey long ago. These guys were easily the best opening act I'd ever seen, and I've been following them forever. Smoke cigs with them before the show, they're really chill. And back then, Cliff wore these baggy pants that looked kinda cool the way he jangles around while he's rocking shit. He asked if we wanted backstage passes when we were like "no dood your pants are just cool give us your pants!" And he was like, I'd totally give you my badge, but I can't take off my pants sorry! Damn I miss them!!!! (And Cliff, if you read this, yes I still want your pants.)

      Same here. 3 of my friends and I are in this video (about 3 people back from stage left). Also saw them in KC at the (now gone) Beaumont with Chevelle. I was turned on to these guys right when Fables was released, and was hooked from the first three bars of this song (it's the opening track of the album). Sadly the business (Serj's label in particular), and family commitments killed them. It's sad, but I feel if they could've gotten out from under Serjikal Strike Records, they would've been much bigger than they were. I've followed a couple members other projects, but nothing else has the energy or creativity of this band. Miss you guys! Here's hoping they can maybe put some songs together in their free time.

The songs, the music,the lyrics and the way the songs were sang is like nothing out there, and yes, they should have been way bigger than they were for sure.

    Well dang. I came here to criticize how they didn't sound so well live, but I was so wrong. This is marvelous. I am immensely saddened to find out they have been disbanded for a couple years now. :(
