Thanks for a couple of fun Saturdays while i was in Mass. I posted all of the photos from the 12-27-08 show on my myspace page, and some of the photos from 1-3-09 (the rest i'll post soon). Feel free to use those photos in any way you see fit. I can't wait to hear the new album.
Hey there. I'll be back in Massachusetts for my annual Christmas endurance test. Are you guys playing on New Year's Eve? Or any other night around that time? I miss bringing in the new year with Los Diablos. So i have high expectations for you guys. Don't disappoint me, or i'll be back the following year to complain.
