Actually the Long Ryders were the poseurs in the LA neo-psych scene, and pretty much killed it as far as I'm concerned. There wasn't anything fake about the Dream Syndicate or Rain Parade, but the Long Ryders came in thinking it was a big deal to have fake Neil Young sideburns and play whiney soap-box country-rock shite, and LA became unhip for awile... The Ryders were nothing but the Alarm in cowboy boots!
