okay, so there was this band called Llama. they were from Tennessee. they were verrrry good. the name of their band had nothing to do with the Phish song Llama. they were incredibly good, if i didn’t mention that already. last i heard they got signed to RCA (i think). they have disappeared off the face of the earth.

my question: has anyone here ever heard of them? and if so, dose anyone here have any information regarding their total vanishment? because they’re really, really good and i want to know what has happened to them.

so yeah, thanks.

well to answer my own query,

Llama was an American alternative rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. Formed by high school friends Ben Brown, Neil Mason, and Ben Morton, they were discovered while playing a concert in a local pizzeria. Then called the Dahlia Llamas, they were signed to a contract with MCA Records and changed their name to Llama while the three original members of the band were still in high school.

The band’s first album, Close to the Silence, was recorded over two years as the members completed high school. Upon its release in 2001 it garnered critical comparisons to the Dave Matthews Band. Llama spent the majority of 2001 touring with acts as varied as B

if you can find the album “Close to the Silence”, you shan’t be disappointed! i have found it on Rhapsody. not sure if it’s on itunes or not. but ignore those DMB and OAR comparisons. that’s none but rubbish. these guys had something good i say!
