   About the rainy states
our group, the rainy states, started off on january 2nd 2007 beginning with rehearsals held in our basement on belmont street.  we completed our debut album, "in basement air," which was written, arranged, produced, and engineered by the group from home in february of 2008.  there are years between us all, although we came together at different times in different places.

sincerely, benjamin

Helloooo
thanks for the request. Really really lovely chooons.
Any plans to come to England? I'd advise you not to (we're a country still suffering from post-empire comedown) only it'd be nice to hear you live. And to see you, I'm not blind or anything.
