Hey Shudder! I hope the show went great last night. I just wanted you to know that your song "Getting Bothered" is featured on the KCBU profile and everyone who is being added is sure to hear it! You all really deserve the recognition. I hope it helps in some way.
Also, be sure to read the latest blog regarding www. playlist. com. I know you guys are giving out your new music for free, so this is just another great way to get it heard. Let me know if you are interested in being a part of the idea.

we here at The Threes have discussed and officially decided. in response to the musical fortitude of Act II, we are indeed both wiser and bothered. thank you for bringing this to our lives.
in all seriousness, GREAT sounding tracks! well done, can't wait for the rest!
I can't lie. I can't be anything but blamed.... I think of seeing you on the July 17th show and weep like a mother who just found her child in a field healthy and still breathing after the floods, happier than anything could define.
