Can't wait. Just a warning...we will really need you to bring a draw. All of the bands on the bill have made a decision to except nothing but a sold out show at the blind pig...it will make all of us look good. We will all have a conference call soon and discuss how we can divide up the promotional leg work and tickets sales. You guys have a great sound for this show, so we welcome you aboard!

Hey guys what's up? Me and the other Marsupials are competing at the Clutch Cargo's Battle of the Bands and we just wanted to see if you'd like to purchase some tickets to come support us! It's $13 a pop (shitty, I know) but it's worth it. Starts at 11 AM and there are (mostly) awesome bands there playing all day. I went last year and it was a lot of fun. Anyways, enough of my shameless promoting. Thanks for reading this :]. Message me back if you want some tickets or you can call me @ 586-354-4316.
