And TDA's MySpace friend No. 300 is ...

The After Effect, a "rock/alternative/jam band" straight outta Brooklyn. They are the lucky winners of an undefined tour of Cincinnati, home of my swirly college memories and of Jeff Staples, good friend of TDA. Not to mention the Ass Ponys, the greatest band nobody's ever heard of.

So, esteemed members of The After Effect, please say "hi" to my buddy, Newsday pop music columnist Glenn Gamboa, when you're kickin' it in your hometown, and say "this round's on us" to Chuck Cleaver when you get to Cincy-nasty. Cheers!
