    Can you tell me something about them? I've heard from a couple different people that I might like them, so what do you think about them, can you describe?

    The Polyphonic Spree is a choral, gospel, 70's pop band. They have 27 members and they have EVERY instrument you can imagine. They also have their own choir.

    The reason I call Tim the messiah is because I really believe he is the peaceful prophet.

    The music they sing and play is uplifting, happy, peaceful, loving music. Tim, when he was in Tripping Daisy (a Dallas punk rock band), was very hateful and very wrapped up with drugs. Once one of his band mates died from overdose, he changed his whole lifestyle and view on life. Tripping Daisy then split up and a few years later him and the remaining two members created The Polyphonic Spree.

    They are deffinatley worth listening to, even if you don't prefer that type of music. They have a great message.

    Disney signed the Spree?
    They've been producing their records through Good Records. Which Tim is co-owner of. I've been there and met Tim.

    But, I think that's cool with their music as Disney Parks.

    They weren't up for any.
    It's too bad though.
    They are just now getting the recognition they deserve.
