my name is daisy, and I am interested in playing in your band. I like the colors purple and black, I have facial peircings, and the 6th grade version of myself has an orange belt in judo. I can sing, play guitar and play bass. You can contact me on myspace or by email.
Hey, man. Well I bought a Be Good Tanyas CD and I want my ten bucks back! It just sounds like a slower popped up version of ACTUAL folk music. I hope I don't sound too much like that...anyways, it was a nice thought though. Hahahaaa don't blame it on me!
I really remembered, I want you to check out a song. It's called uniform grey by sarah harmer.. I'm pretty sure she sings it.. a girl I planted with always sang it, she listens to the be good tanyas so i figured she must know something lol
