Guys-
To stay on the band theme, this band from Southern CA is unbelievable. If you like great guitars and solid writing, this band kicks butt! Had a hit on Alternative radio a few years back "diz-knee-land", kind of a cheezy name, but a cool tune. They are AWESOME live as well. Mostly they stay on the west coast.
