Flea, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' outrageous and outspoken bassist, would absolutely cringe if he heard the cliched funky bass line on the eighth track "Same Side."

Wareham, formerly of the Harvard-bred band Galaxie 500, joins ex-Chills bassist Justin Harwood and drummer Stan Demeski of the late great Feelies to form Luna2--a trio with exceptional musical talent and song writing ability.
