Hi guys,
just few words to tell I really like your music, I mean the little that I known !'cause all your tracks are not arrived in France.
But I discovered U through the excellent "Gorilla with a gun" on the radio NOVA compilation.
So now we're linked & I hope U will give us some new sound very soon ...
As we say in french: à très vite !
