Hello..If you have a spare second could you please help us name our band as we get ready to play some shows. We have come up with a final list of 3 names and we are asking our myspace friends to vote on which one they like best. The one with the most votes will be our new name. The final list is:
We'll definitely be having an open house / jam night at some point soon (2-3 months maybe?)... I'll make sure you know about it. Of course you're welcome any time though.
