Wow, this brings back memories. The Kirkwood brothers went to a rival high school here and would sometimes mess around playing music at parties. When they formed The Meat Puppets I saw them play a lot of times in Tempe while I was going to ASU. They were just starting out playing at the local clubs there.

@MarkinPhx For some reason they just popped into my head, from your Collective Soul reference. But yeah, I try to post and listen to songs that are maybe a little off of the beaten path. These guys, The Godz, were a local band near me when I was in high school. They never made it to great fame and I have no idea what may have happened to them but their music is still worth hearing even after all these years. I saw them at local venues often but the most famous performance of theirs I saw was when they opened for Blue Oyster Cult in my hometown. Not as big of a deal though in later years because BOC was the headliner act for the Obetz (Ohio) Zucchini Fest, 2010 or thereabouts. Probably not the trajectory BOC had hoped for. Still, they sounded great!

When I was in the Navy, early 80's, I was stationed in the Philippines. Cassettes were the popular music format then and I bought many at a store near my hone there. One day while trying to pick a few new ones, The Godz jumped out at me there from the masses and I bought it, of course. It felt like finding an old friend. Here's one of their better known songs.

Thanks for sharing. They do have a very early 80's sound . If you ever get the chance look up The Jetzons on Youtube. They were playing in the Tempe Bars around the same time as Meat Puppets and had signed a record deal but the leader of the band was addicted to heroin so they never got their chance.
