Yes, we play live. Although posthumous sales have worked out well for Elvis, we've found that for us, we are much better musicians when playing while living.

The Internet has transformed the music industry from a bunch of lustful cronies who exploit the talent of artists for monetary gain, into a bunch of litigious cronies who sue college kids and single mothers for monetary gain. Thankfully, people who want music (instead of brands) can use the Internet to find music, and pay a fair price to the artist for it.
