The band is rumored to have gotten its name because they would be willing to play for anyone in their struggling early days, even for squirrels. But their hard work and talent paid off, and they were set to release their major debut, "Example," in October 1995. Just one month prior, the band was involved in an accident that claimed the lives of singer Jack Vigliatura, bassist Bill White, and tour manager Tim Bender.
The video is a tribute to those lost in the accident. Whenever I hear this song now, the line "things are going to change in our favor" always gives me chills. "Might y K.C." would reach #70 on the charts in early 1996 and illustrates the knack these guys had to blend grunge and pop. The haunting versus are chased away by an irresistibly sing-a-long chorus.
