12/29/03: Hey folks. Thanks so much to those who came out Saturday to support the show at USL with 'Kiss The Bottle' & 'The Pistol Wips'. All and all it was a great show & we were thrilled to share the stage with both bands. In case you're wondering, the music we came out to was called "Hero's Hallway" & it can be found on the Bubba Ho-Tep soundtrack. Visit the movie's website to find out more about getting your own copy of the soundtrack CD & just to learn a bit about this great movie featuring Bruce Campbell. We've got one show booked next week in Amityville with a band from Queens called 'ten years without you'. We're looking forward to finally playing with those guys, so come out and support. After that, I think we're going to take a little break from playing live. We want to finish up a few more new songs & get a new recording together ASAP. We've been working really hard on making the newer songs the best we can collectivelly put together, so this next CD, we promise will be something special. As of right now, we've got the songs 'So Comfortable' & 'Capital D' (which you might recognize from our recent set lists), as well as the 3 new tracks from the LIVE EP. We're working on some ideas for possibly 3 more songs & then we'll be ready for the next CD EP. We'd like to thank all of those that made this year so remarkable and worthwhile. We had some great shows & we're happy to still be doing it. On behalf of the whole band, have a happy and safe new year, and let's hope 2004 is a bigger year for us all then 2003 was.

12/15/03: Special thanks to all those who came out for Saturday night's show & made it an amazing evening. We hope you dug the new song 'So Comfortable'.
