--"...but listen to a catchy track like "The Phobia List", which combines post punk dance energy with near-metal outbursts...That song is rocking somebody's world right now." -Local Buzz. Jan. 2007 www.local_buzz.com

we love our music. writing it, performing it, and recording it. we fight hard for it, with eachother, with the bullshit of day to day living and the world and people around us. we want it all. we want you to dance, party and really live. and we want to provide the soundtrack. for the crazy nights, the breakups, and the new relationships that either last one night or for the rest of your life.
cheers.

Hey Swillies, May 9th take a break from being rockstars and come to the Elks Lodge in Springfield for a rip roaring good time in the form of a Jack and Jill. 6-11. There will be cheap beer, Makers Mark, dancing ladies... ok only cheap beer.
Nice playing tonight. I only wish I didn't miss half your set while waiting a the bar for a damn drink. The drink wasn't worth it. See ya at the next gig, good luck in the studio.
