This was my band.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhyzwbRK_GM&feature=player_embedded

"Radio Sol" by The Jupiter Sheep.

This video was shot on 16mm film in 1992, and never edited, unitl now. Its sister video. "Beat Park", was finished and sent to MTV, where it played once. The song "Radio Sol" was on regular radio rotation for a few months in Northern California.

3. My college roommate has a similar story.
His band's video was shown on MTV once or twice in the early 90's.

I can't find the video, but here's the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbOvHcy5fv8&feature=related

Darrel? Are you on DU?

4. This is some excellent shit!

As someone who was deeply into the alternative/new wave/punk scene, this really resonates with me. I would have loved to hear you guys live....sitting at a table with friends, sipping good drinks, chilling to the music with the great beats...oh yeah! I put this in my favorites, which will display on my 'Facebook' page. I think I may have even heard of your band because the name is very familiar. All in all, this is what this connoisseur considers "quality music".

On edit: I forgot to say that I love the video, too!

6. Really Cool. Solid playing too...
Here's an excerpt from a promotional video for my current group. We just released our second album. We tour the east coast in September. I'm getting too old to live in a van like in the old days, so our dates are gonna be limited.
