The band toured promoting their album, with shows mostly featuring tracks from the album. However, their live concerts often feature a couple cover songs such as "Free Bird", "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?", "Blinded by the Light", "Who Loves The Sun", "Praise You", "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill", and "To Be with You", but they're probably best known for their cover of Biz Markie's "Just a Friend", which they used to end every set with. As of 2008, it was said to be "retired" from their set but they will still perform it from time to time. A live version of Just a Friend can be found on The Pingry EP. In 2006, a studio version was recorded and is now considered a bonus song provided by Atlantic Records and distributed via download codes handed out at live shows and through the hiddeninthesand.com Twitter account[1].
