Where else would you have heard of us?
We've played at places like:
the fat cat
bowring park
Fab 50's
the avalon mall
out of the fog
club one
junctions
Special moments include:
The candy throw!!
The taking off of pants
the mother f*in' battle of the bands at holy heart when all the amps keep shutting off,
so during focus (our closing song) much dancing, head banging, 360ing and equipement smashing was to be had (-our most memorible moment-)
-to completely appreciate us, you'll have to come see us play
I think we put off a pretty wicked show
