WE ARE BACK ON MYSPACE! Friends and fans...Our 3 year myspace account was hacked and deleted! It's a funny thing to watch 3 years and 4,000 fans drop off of your page in a blink of an eye! But, have no fear, you CANNOT keep The Opium Symphony down! Nothing can stop us from creating Dallas' original American Music! We will rebuild the myspace page one fan at a time, and we will build it stronger than before! Standby as we continue to blaze our trail in this world we live in!
We love you all so much. Thank YOU for empowering The Opium Symphony to live and breathe! ~OS
