Surviving and thriving as a band in 2011 is like walking a tightrope over alligator-infested water—risky, nerve wracking and death defying. Few acts from the ‘90s have managed to stay relevant, and more importantly, sell records, but even more discerning is the challenge to garner mainstream attention without “selling…
