They incorporated elements of funk and jazz in their songs. Some of their songs, such as In Spite of Me, have an almost minimalist feel to them. A hit with European audiences, they never achieved much success beyond indie rock and college stations. Still, the albums Cure for Pain, Good and The Night are just waiting to be discovered by a new audience. Where Are They Now: Frontman Mark Sandman tragically died of a heart attack during a concert in 1999, at the age of 46. His death was attributed to chain-smoking, stress and the insane temperatures in the Italian venue. The surviving members have toured under different names since.
