Hey Adam! Thanks for looking us up and saying hi! You must've indeed missed us, but you must've stepped out, cuz we played sandwiched between yer friends? Maybe you got hungry. I knew Ash and Foxtails already, and it was great to meet/hear Fancy D. Everyone did a great set! I love your songs above. Right from very first line. SO rad to rhyme Hawaii and why.
:-) Hope to see you around! - xo Heather
