****UPDATE JUNE 2008*****PLEASE READ******
Unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts and some personal details in our lives outside the band, Second Hand Karma will be taking a possibly permanent leave of absence. All three orig. members remain friends, and are all still individually committed to making music a central focus in their lives.
WE want to thank all of our friends and family for their endless support the last couple years, as well as everyone who we shared the stage with and those who worked to make the shows possible like DL Prod., Ganja Gear, and the venues.
We are going to leave this site as it is, and actually plan to add some video footage and a live clip or two from the last 6 months. We'll also keep you posted on any new musical endeavors we have planned, so check back sometime and see what’s new....feel free to contact any of the three of us via our personal pages(the first three friends on our page, lol), we'd love to hear from you.....until then,
peace, love, and respect
-Steve Grande, Second Hand Karma
***********************************
Second Hand Karma was formed in September of 2006, when fate(or maybe karma...) randomly brought Adam Flynn, Steve Grande and Franco Del Rio together. All three were in the same recording class at Golden West College, and initially started jamming together as a result of a class recording project. From these early jam sessions, several original works arose, and a foundation was laid for the band to continue to create good music, good karma and good times........
What's going on with you smfs (as my brother would say)
Second hand karma will forever be the best..... I would like to know what it is that is going on....what's this I hear of no more smfs? Wtf -mary jane,joerods little sis
I'm Blazin For the Nation, Much Respect Fellas. Hope all is well can't wait for the 25th. Stay Faded fellas,I'll bring a shitload of apparel at the next show.
I got some good footage on Saturday but the lighting sucked, when the lights were on, it was perfect, but they left the lights off for awhile during a couple songs. you can still see you guys and it looks kind of vintage. I will try to convert it so i can get you guys a copy.
