The Refreshments were an alternative rock band from Tempe, Arizona, and they made the kind of sun-bleached, jangly, beer-in-hand pop rock that sounds best with a desert highway stretching out in front of you. Roger Clyne and P.H. Naffah were at the heart of a band that sounded like it was having more fun than anybody else in the room.
Wheelie came out in 1994, and Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy was the 1996 breakthrough. Their calling card is "Banditos", a rollicking, sing-along getaway of a tune with a grin plastered across it. They also wrote "Yahoos and Triangles", the twangy theme for the long-running animated series King of the Hill.
In 1998 the band became Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, with Clyne and Naffah carrying on and still playing the old Refreshments songs on the road.
