Single con dos temas, el primero en plan más tranquilo y un segundo con algo más de fuerza. Si pongo este single es por referencia a su componente Keith Patterson, personaje que ha estado en grupos de Minneapolis como Funseekers, Conquerors y Autumn Leaves y también debido a un extenso comentario sobre The Funseekers aparecido en el blog BeatGaragePop por el que debeís pasar ya.
Tras una serie de singles se publicó un recopilatorio : "Beat is Murder: Cockfights & Cakefights 1992-1996" por el sello Get Hip que incluye todo lo publicado, rarezas, en vivo..... que supongo encontraré algún día.
Algún tema más en su página de myspace .

Keith Patterson Knows Mod. This 2001 City Pages headline--shorter than a Mary Quant hemline--precedes a letter to the editor in which skinny-pant-sportin' guitarist Keith Patterson helped explain the genre to this paper's rock critics. Yessiree Brian Jones, Keith knows mod, and it's not merely a cute bowl haircut, or a slick suit, or a "The" (duh). Mod means attitude and, according to Patterson's letter, some local bands just ain't mod.
He should know. For over a decade, Patterson and his mates in the "The" bands (Funseekers, Conquerors, Autumn Leaves, and Spectors) have refined the art of dress--this is, clothing their audience in sexy, sweaty, rock 'n' roll. With the Spectors, Patterson and company (along with non-Patterson bands like the Hypstrz and Green Machine) helped reinvent the local hip-shakin' scene in the late '80s and early '90s, paying more homage to the Easybeats and the Monks (whom they cover) than another famous skinny-pant sportin' soul man--Prince. You can hear that trademark sound developing on "Beat is Murder", a collection of the Spectors' complete works and live outtakes.
