The lack of listens is too bad, because I think they have a good sound. That one above is live and just doesn't do that song justice. The studio version is quite a bit better. Here is a studio version of another, Runnin':
Their web bio says they had another song (Devil on my Shoulder) that has apparently been used on both ABC and CBS shows, but I can't find a good video for it.
Googl-ing Modoc gets you a lot of potential histories for their name:
- They all met in the Missouri Department of Corrections
- They are all Modoc Indians, a federally recognized tribe
- They all descended from a Welsh gang operating in the anthracite coalfields around Mahanoy City, PA during the 19th Century
- They served together on the USCGC Modoc, a Tampa-class Coast Guard cutter
- Or they really liked the novel by Ralph Helfer, based on the true story of the longest-lived elephant.
