I just discovered this band. I first heard about them from HighFidelity

Dry the Rain. I decided i was interested and began to explore. I found a bunch of mp3's and found that I liked everything I heard. I looked to see which album contained most of the songs I liked, and they were spread evenly through all three of their albums (
The Beta Band,
The Three E.P.'s and
Hot Shots II). I decided to order all three and I love them all.

TheBetaBand when they were making
Kid A. For more info, try

RadioHead this past ('01) summer. Some of their singles include:
If you're interested in listening, both Kurt and I have the cd's on our computers. My computer is Sludge Puppy, in the folder mp3, and the sub-folder The Beta Band. Kurt's computer is Tigris, and it would be in his Full Cd's folder.
