Being a Montrealer, I've seen Parkside Jones a bunch of times, and quite
frankly, they stink. They're far from tight, and they lack any type of
originality. Those who are there to dance to some barely passable,
commercial funk may get their rocks off, but anyone expecting to be blown
away should probably save their six bucks and catch bands like Galactic or
the Herbaliser Band when they roll into your town.
