Alright, we couldn't make the crazy drive from Jersey to see the show last weekend. Family obligations prevented such a journey - judging from the other comments, sounds like we missed a great show! We'll see you guys play eventually...
Hey guys, just got the new cd in the mail today. Sounds great! I'm loving having new music from you. Is there anywhere online I can see the lyrics to the new tunes? I'd like to be able to sing along accurately!
The show last night was PERFECT! It was what a 'rock' show should be! I loved the MJ tribute and T Miller performance too! Congrats on the new cd and keep up the AMAZING work! <3 D
