I am fairly certain none of you perhaps even fourwalls will not know this song. “3 Strange Days” can be considered regional and makes the list because it was a favorite song of mine. School of Fish was a local LA band getting lucky when KROQ favored “3 Strange Days” which was enough for Modern Rock Tracks #6. Formed as a duo in 1989, School of Fish expanded to a quartet and never went anywhere. Their self titled debut album containing “3 Strange Days” only went to Billboard #142. The failure of their second album prompted disbanding in 1994. Lead singer Josh Clayton-Felt went solo with no success and died at 30 of cancer in 1999. “3 Strange Days” has a trippy psychedelic throw back feel with a modern rock edge.

Oh, sure, I know it.
You know I'm kidding.
Enjoyable. As you said it has that psychedelic feel, along the lines of Camper Van Beethoven.

What? Camper Van Beethoven is an American rock band formed in Redlands, California in 1983 and later located in Santa Cruz and San Francisco. Their style mixes elements of pop, ska, punk rock, folk, alternative country, and world music. I live here and no one has ever mentioned this to me. I came 4 years later and local radio never mentions them or played them in my life. Not one person I ever met say anything about them. How the hell do you know @FourWalls My town sucks, do not even know their history.

@FourWalls I like this one. I got lost in Brawley, California once. I was almost deported. Lucky I am white. Mongals also over took our local bar a couple of times because Hells Angels came in and did the same because bartender was associated with them. Hells Angels and they were beefing. Nothing bad happened though. Was nice when they fired her and the locals got their bar back.
A video I put together to go with this jolly song. From the recent release of the same name. For all the half aware-o caballeros out there. Oh, and that crew...

@crossbones27 -- the song that introduced me to them was their classic "Take the Skinheads Bowling."

I actually do know that one and actually another one I had to work hard to find. Music was not so easy in our days. I am sure 1800 is calling, you got nothing on us.
