---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The floods of November, 1985 devastated much of West Virginia. Authorities called the record-breaking floods that began November 4 the worst of the twentieth century. More than 3,500 homes and 180 businesses were wiped out. 123 bridges were destroyed or damaged and hundreds of thousands of farm animals were killed. 47 West Virginians lost their lives, 28 of whom resided in Pendleton and Grant counties. 33 of West Virginia's 55 counties were declared disaster areas. This band is a lot like that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This May 17th show looks to be an awesome affair. I just played with the Midgetmen in Baltimore, and they were great.. Plus I just checked out 100 hurricanes, and it turns out I grew up with their drummer... INSANITY

It's almost enough to make me blow my savings on gas for the weekend.

Hey y'all, I'm liken the flyer! Could you send me the code so I can post it on my page? -Andra






Feb 26 2008 3:51 AM

It was definately my pleasure to be there. I love the new cd, it's been playing nonstop since I got it. I was wondering if it would be ok if I sent Same To Me to some of my friends who are dj's for a radiostation in San Diego, CA (it's my hometown). I think they would see its possibility, and it could maybe get it some widespread radioplay. Plus, I just think they would really like it. Just lemme know
