saw the ladies and gents last night (i don't want to change the name either) for the fourth time. they've definitely turned up the rockability, but still have all the wonderful melodies. kevin told me that the band actually voted 4 to 1 to not change the name and not get rid of the milkmen uniform, but what Tom say goes.
