...last year, who headlined the almost fivehour show, an most of the crowd was there to see these bluegrass stalwarts. The Scene have been together for twenty-two years (although lead singer Kline is just 30), and continue to challenge themselves with both lightingfast arrangements and slower, subtler ballads.

...have never heard of the group. Even Pancho Valdez is gone now, "sort of stolen back by the police this summer." Graduation looms for the Buttfucks, who say they have settled into "a quiet, domestic depravity."
