Thank you very very much for your friendship!! All the tracks are so beautiful and brilliant! Overnite Religion is very particular...voice reminds of Marc Bolan! Also Hunchback, Freeway, Breathin' out are very interesting. Great creativity! I hope you'll enjoy listening to my tracks..your feedback on it will be appreciated very much.. So..nice to meet you, all the best. Giorgio
come out to this show! tell your friends. its the last show i will be playing with them. so if you dont go you will never know. i dont know what that means exactly. it sounds deep though.
looking forward to playing with you at Local 506. I do hope you'll do the freak train train train train song. I mean, having one like that could become a millstone around your neck, it's just too good. you'll be 67 years old and people will be coming up on the street telling you they've never been so insulted in their whole lives. shit.
