"The Beat Brothers take the blues and they shake it, break it and hang it on the wall. When their broke-down engine boogie sound hits you, you gotta move".

Hey man, Glad you dig the live one. I was a bit hesitant to put it on. Yeah definately come down to the fox, I am playing with a band so i am digging out the electric. Brendan is playing drums for me. Catch you guys soon!!
Had a look at that gig we're supposedly playing, don't know what's going on there. We're still not together, so i'm guessing the Tote just booked it and forgot to tell any of us. Bloody stupid band bookers.
