Let\'s start a thread devoted to other cool bands which might be almost as good as PB, including (preferably) small time acts as well as big time.
favorite small time grassroots jambands besides PB:
Tea Leaf Green (killer hard rock band from San Fran featuring the alien Josh Clark ripping it up on lead guitar)
Particle (awesome electonic influenced dance-groove band)
Lotus (killer band from Philly similar to Particle, maybe even better
Addison Groove (hard rocking jazz, if that\'s not a contradiction)
ekoostik hookah (features S. Sweeny, 3rd best living guitarist in America behind Tim and Josh Clark)
Guest (electronic dance influenced, hard rocking, with insane dueling lead guitarists)
