I first learned of this band through the 2004 documentary Dig, which chronicled their relationship with The Dandy Warhols. Basically, the gist of us was that people (including, it seems, The Dandy Warhols themselves) felt that these guys were more talented songwriters, but their career was severely handicapped by the on and off stage antics of their frontman, Anton Newcombe, whose drug and alcohol abuse and violent temper often made their live shows a spectacle, but not the good kind like you want.
