Secondly, we played Radio Free Silverlake's Let's Independent night at Boarder's in Hollywood. We had soo fun. All of the bands were great and the place was packed. If you haven't gone to one of the nights that RFS puts on at Boarder's, you should really check out the next one. They're a lot of fun and the bands are always good. We've also posted some pics on our myspace page from that show. Check'm out.

We have a couple shows coming up. One at Mbar on February 17th and the other at The Scene Bar in April! We also received a couple really great write-ups/reviews of our first record in the last week!
Check them out:
Thetripwire.com
"Hello Today was produced and recorded by Joe Napolitano, a member of the band, and quite honestly sounds more professional than a lot of its contemporaries out there. "Tongue Tied" starts off on a punchy opener that blends raw, raspy vocals with sweet harmonies layered on top of horns, guitars and keys. On the other end of the spectrum is "Crazy," a slower more alt-folk tune that relies heavily on the viola and keys. The harmonious piano-driven pop continues with "Living In Another World" and "Jealousy In Three." Finally there is "Vaudeville," an instrumental track that reminds me (in a weird way) of a tamed down version of one of those Graham Coxon intermissions on an old Blur album. It is chock full of horns and leaves the listener salivating for more."
