their star is so bright in fact (terrible, clichéd writing) that aaron goldman created a 2005 documentary about the band called dreaming in america (also the name of their 2005 album).  i haven't seen it, but the band describes it as "just us getting drunk and making fun of each other."

ben also co-stars on the mtv series $5 cover, about the memphis music scene.

their lyrics, told through ben's raspy voice describe long nights of boozed mayhem and debauchery.

according to daytrotter's sean moeller, they "tend to give voice to characters who live recklessly, laugh big hearty laughs and do most things, well, heartily. The music that they give to these characters, as accessories and themes, is somewhere in a twilight zone between punk rock and the kind of country and western music that you'd find in a jukejoint or a honky tonk in the middle of nowhere, with a floor littered with broken bottle glass."

their seventh lp, 1372 overton park, surfaced october 2009.  the album clearly strives toward a certain memphis/country/soul sound.  as an aside, the album name comes from the address that the band lived and practiced at for much of the 2000's.  in the 1970s, the building was used as a karate dojo where elvis took lessons.  sadly, the building was recently razed.
