Thanks for the add. Saw Chip at the Philbrrok last night in Tulsa. It was amazingly entertaining, Thank You for that as well. Your Fear from Want is just the inspiration I needed to get me off my fat ass. God Bless You and ROCK THE FUCK OUTTA THE JOINT!
This is the new single from my indie rock band Skidmore Fountain, "Asylum." Let me know what you think!
We're playing Friday 10/17 at Pianos, 11pm. I'm playing with the two bands beforehand as well, Quitzow and Setting Sun (and heading to Europe with them in November). Swing by if you're in the city and bored. Cheers!
Hey Artbreak, thanks for becoming friends with Agents of Karma. Perhaps we'll see you at a performance sometime. Until then, Peace Out and good Karma to you always from, Jayster, Conrad + Paddymyke:) AOK / NYC
not all of us are "master(s) of the jaunty look (we)'d wear later in the boardroom or bank vault." :)
some go on to design schools with silly names. send ridiculous posters to idols and road trip it to new york to try to meet with them. see you in atlanta.
