Guys, I'm so bummed that I missed you on Saturday! It sounds like it was a great one and I spent it sitting in traffic. Maybe I'll stop by the chouse this week to hear what crazy stuff you're working on...
Im glad we came out to see you guys play. Lots of diversity in your style but i like the fact that all your paths lead to rock n' roll - and that is always a welcoming destination. See you next time and I will stop by to check the church pad. So, is your music automatically blessed?
If you haven't seen it, here's our latest music video. If you like Pee-Wee, Scooby, and smoking crack , you'll love "Kenny's Big Adventure" otherwise it will totally suck.
