CHARLIE APICELLA and IRON CITY are keeping the flame alive in the legacy of the funky organ trio. With their
soulful retro sound, their mission is to keep the people's feet tappin', heads bobbin', and groove, groove, groove!
Powered by the compelling original tunes of guitarist Apicella, IRON CITY strives to break new ground while also
drawing inspiration from the true masters of the groove.
We have a Charlie. She plays guitar here. She's half vampire, buuuuut thats not important. Check it out.. Go paintballing. now. We dont care what you had planned for the day. Go paintballing. Its the greatest thing in the world. You can rob banks and make out with rockstars later. Watching old people fall and roll can wait. The cuteness of babies smiling, and laughing, and bouncing in excitement pales in comparrison. Paintball has enough energy to heal the world and power the flux-capacitor. Focus on whats important in life... which is paintballing. and blowing things up. and sometimes, ice cream, grant theft auto, and cartoons. But seriously, stop reading this, and go paintballing. and have a sweet week.
