Woodstock '99 was chock full of ugly surprises, but it was a fairly happy event for the members of G. Love & Special Sauce.

The blues-folk-rap act was brought in as a last-minute replacement for Sugar Ray, whose singer, Mark McGrath, had come down with the flu (see "Sugar Ray Off Woodstock As McGrath Takes Ill").

The long-running Philadelphia group has been striving for mainstream recognition for some time now, and as drummer Jeff Clemens told MTV News' John Norris at Woodstock, the band is hoping that its latest album, "Philadelphonic," will do the trick.

"We'd all like to see a break, you know," Clemens told MTV News.

G. Love & Special Sauce's latest, "Philadelphonic," will hit stores on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the group is currently touring North America. If you'd like a taste of its "Cold Beverage," here's where to get it:
