Sorry about the sound quality (it makes you guys sound like the Chemical Brothers) but I took it with my still camera-- even holding my finger over the mic to dampen the sound!

Just saw the announcement of the show in Minneapolis. I am looking forward to seeing the show. Booker T and the MG's played here last year. I haven't seen a band with the Memphis sound since. I can't wait.

Lee's should be a great venue for your sound.
Do you know who else you will be playing with?

I don't often say this, but I had a snazzy time playing with you!
