In honor of this thread I just downloaded the Zebra album from Amazon. I forgot how much I liked those tunes.

Zebra and Twisted are great, but BOC are sublime.

Of course Soft White Underbelly is on my iTouch. Kick out the jams brothers and sisters. (apologies to the MC5)

Arguably the best band to come out of LI.

Definitely, though my favorite is still The Good Rats. To me they just have that definitive Long Island vibe.

This Zebra album kicks tushy. I'll have to play it for the kids and see if they get into it.

I hope this is the right place to post this - I apologize if it's not. I'm writing Peppi Marchello's biography (authorized - working directly with Peppi) and I'm looking for any memories of Good Rats/Peppi that might be floating around out there.
