Why this name?
Late nights thinking about the Bay Of Pigs Fiasco & Early mornings staring at a Max cup!
Do you play live?
We used to, a lot!!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It forces bands to get out and play shows again, bring it to the fans and they will love you!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
For sure, given the right opportunity. Though there are many more financially viable options now... the world is a global market now.
