I've had the pleasure of working with this band several times --- they are super nice, and I'm glad to see them getting some exposure. Looking forward to hosting them again later this year!
Definitely worth catching a live performance if they'll be in your area.
The Dollars Trilogy is a great recommendation, and I think your analysis is spot on! The cinematography in the second and third installments is incredible.
I like to follow up with Tarantino's Hateful Eight (my personal favorite film to recommend, especially as a Christmas movie in place of Die Hard) to see how hugely influential the Trilogy was.
The only way we cleared Tainted Lost at my house was playing co-op!
