CD Release

There was an amazing turnout last night and we had a great time playing for everyone. We met some pretty cool people and the sound was the best we've had to date from what people were saying. The last time Trevor and I played there it was much more low-key and had a totally different vibe going. They've really changed things up since then.. much more rock oriented and we love it. We'd also like to thank DC101 for helping us get the word out on the show.

Next month we'll be having a CD release show @ Fat Tuesday's in Fairfax. You can RSVP here:

Wanna thank Yip Deceiver, Drawbridges, and The Absent Center for the show last night.. MUSIC WAS GREAT, PLACE WAS PACKED. We debuted a new song called Idle Tears. Excuse the poor audio on the EP (it was loud in there!) Oh, and many thanks to Adam @ Ontology Promotions for putting it all together!

We're gonna have this up at our Bandcamp page as soon as possible.. (they'll have it in all sorts of formats) ..RN has it but they made us charge for it. So until then..

We had a blast opening for Chappo, Hiding Places, and Dance for the Dying who each played amazing sets!!! ..wasn't our greatest performance but I think we had fun with it. Hope to see you at the next show! It's sure to be just as good, if not way better!

Special thanks to Dance for the Dying for asking us to play, and the Rock and Roll Hotel staff for their hospitality. Great people, great venue...
