The Samples are a band formed in Boulder, Colorado in early 1987. The band’s name came from the members’ early sustenance of food samples from the local King Soopers grocery store. The music has been described as “reggae influenced rock/pop” and a cross between The Police and the Grateful Dead. The founding members were Sean Kelly (Guitar/Vocals), Andy Sheldon (Bass/Vocals), Charles Hambleton (guitar), Jeep MacNichol (Drums/Vocals), and Al Laughlin (Keyboards, Vocals).

Haha damn ok, so I just realized I've seen The Samples live before. Back in shit, 96 or so I think, they were opening for Sting and the show was at the Gorge in Washington state. Don't remember if I liked the music or not at all though so I'll have to check out their albums. As for King Soopers that's funny, I lived in Fort Collins from 2000-2002 and did all my shopping at King Soopers haha.

thanks for the link! interesting insight into this bands short career (if one may call it that). how sad that last.fm still lacks the possibility of keeping bands with the same names apart on differetn pages...

There you go Rajchskancler:- http://www.geocities.com/devo14uk/burning.htm Just to clear it up - The original Samples were a British Punk/Oi band formed in the late 70's. Probably their most highly regarded song is 'Dead Hero' which i see is in the chart above.

Maybe not jam but perhaps PB&J. These guys definitely have a blended sound and unique vocals. Definitely not Punks! I know they call Colorado their home, but with their ties to the Northeast, can't we just tag them as a Vermont band?

How do tags get fixed? The similar artists are not at all similar. Although not a jam band by any means, these guys should be listed along side Phish, Dave Matthews Band. Dave Matthews once toured as the opening act for The Samples.
