Hello. This is Angela. We are very excited because we have changed our name to Supernal (yes that's right) and now you can check us out at www.soundclick.com/bands/supernal.htm We have a new song from the upcoming CD it is called Build Me Up, so go check it out and vote for it! We will be pretty much abandoning this website, but don't worry, you all have been moved to our new mailing list already. Talk to everyone later.......
How about "Spider Monkeys"?
I heard the new drummer is really hot. He has a nice ass, pecs, biceps, triceps, quads, calves, stomach and most of all a really big #$%@&*. For a good time call Mrs. Bigglesworth at 1-800-BIGGLESWORTH.
