When KB and I were in Number Nine, Smash Mouth's guitar player, Greg Camp, was in another contemporary First Strike band (I forget which one). And while there was a little competitiveness between all the bands at the time (everyone else sucked), I thought it was nice to see a college/alternative SJ band "make it". They got way over-played, but Astro Lounge actually had some well written/clever songs on it. I liked this one in particular:

I think the Why Can't We Be Friends and I'm a Believer were on their first album and possibly an EP, before Shrek and Astrolounge and their huge popularity.
Funniest quote:
(my friend's daughter had other friends going to the boardwalk to see Smashmouth
Daughter: mom, are you going grocery shopping?
Mom: no, I wasn't planning on it.
D: Well, let me know if you change your mind. I think I'd rather go grocery shopping than see Smashmouth.
