So I rolled up to the IM Automata Chino last Sat to see my favorite band, but was informed by the door-man that they had played the night before! Sorry I missed you.
Hey!!! You guys were AWESOME at the Pony on Friday. It was great seeing you guys again in a better surrounding. (not saying a Firehouse is a bad venue!!) I have become a huge fan and I will definitely come see you guys again soon. It's so funny that the music you all grew up listening to I was listening to as well and as a musician influenced by. Depeche Mode still remains to be one of my favorite bands of all time. See you all soon! Great job.
dont feel bad at all Bern; in fact i was ready to shout happy birthday from the front but then i thought id scare you ,the band, and probably most everyone around me lol. Im not sure how many soul coughing fans are morrissey fans or would at least recognize him on your guitar. It was a wonderful suprise seeing you guys as i very much remember hearing matt talk about your band on 101.9 one morning and when i heard you guys, i immediately thought of a cross of my beloved r.e.m., smiths, Sundays, and cranberries 1st album which i love also. I cant wait to hear some more of your studio stuff especially Aristotle! Thanks so much for writing me back.(=o)
have a wonderful day! Xooox
You guys were wonderful on friday; as soon as i saw the lil morrissey stickey on the guitar, I knew you guys had to be awesome. I love the cd and I cant wait to hear more from you guys! Keep up the good tunes!! love, craig xoxoxo
