Hey there

Thanks for including us on your friends list. I hope that you liked the songs!

As a Boston radio station said about our first album.........

“This isn't just the best damned drinking album of the year; it's the best damned CD to play before you go out drinking to pump yourself up album of the year”

I reckon it also goes for our live show. So come along one day, see if you can drink us under the table and dance us off of the stage!

Cheers (p.s. the second album is even better!! with free downloads on Myspace)
