I saw them in 2002 with The Ataris, Rufio and Autopilot Off.

I was in my early 20s at the time & I really enjoyed them, but agree -- other than a handful of songs, they didn't really stick.

ETA: In short, I don't think the people outside of my group of friends knew who I was going to see at that show. If I had said I was going to see them two years later when they were opening for Green Day? Different story

They weren’t a huge deal, they were kind of commercial so they got songs into video games and were in magazines. One friend of mine was a sort of fan so we did catch their set at VooDoo fest in like 03-04. The guitarist accidentally broke his guitar trying to be cool. I guess his thing was to throw the guitar to his tech at the end of the set but this time he was standing on the cable so it flew about 20 feet before slamming into the stage and exploding. They threw the pieces into the crowd, we ended up with the bridge.
