I rememebr in my younger days when I was in a ska band we'd play local venues often, the most memoral were the local "battle of the bands" performances. I remember playing at the War Memorial Building in Lodi, CA against another 7 or 8 bands. One of the other bands was Papa Roach. They played a few pretty good songs, but my band won. Today, Papa Roach has sold millions of records and my band - Toxic Penguin - has broken up. Such is music. Papa Roach didn't sound bad, but they were no match for Toxic Penguin.
