Well, folks - the band is making the leap onto Facebook and some other sites and in doing so, we are going to also try using iLike.com as the medium to get this stuff to all of these various sites. If it works - it will kick über-ass and if it doesn’t - well, who said the Internets were perfect?
Anyway - check out iLike by simply clicking on this lovely graphic below.
Great news! Our residency at Momo’s starts next week on Thursday, May 8th at 10PM!!
More great news! This Thursday (tomorrow night) we have the privilege of opening for the amazing Ian Moore at Antone’s!! Doors are at 8PM and we take the stage at 9PM so make sure to get there early and throw back a few before the show starts.
This will be our first show at Antone’s since we filmed our ME Television special just barely over a year ago! If you remember that show, you know we had a blast and were blessed with a great crowd. I hope you will join us tomorrow night at Antone’s to show your support for us at this legendary room.
Also - be sure to check out Ian Moore’s site and MySpace page where you can hear lots of stuff off his newest release - To Be Loved.
See ya tomorrow night!
