The Verve Pipe isn't a name that resonates like the Goo Goo Dolls or Hootie & the Blowfish, but the once-upon-a-time '90s favorites hit a home run with "The Freshmen" before falling into obscurity. With only two original members remaining, singer-guitarist Brian Vander Ark and drummer Donny Brown, the post-grunge, alt-rock band found another sliver of success in 2009 with the release of A Family Album—a 10-song CD specifically for children and their families, boasting songs like "Cereal," "Suppertime!" and "Go To Sleep Now." Vander Ark has a solo album coming out in 2011 called Magazine, and the band is still being called on to play kids festivals and shows. Seattle—well, Snoqualmie—gets a better end of the deal, as their set here—part of KJAQ 96.5's Vodka Rocks! event—is with fellow '90s band Toad The Wet Sprocket, and not The Wiggles. With Candlebox.
