Hi Guys,
Great to meet ya! and as I've said over at Myspace, you must be a great band to see live.
I feel mighty privileged to be your first poster here, after coming via Angela's, then your site at Myspace.
Love your style, the songs, and the distinctive vocals.

Thanks for sharing your music, and see you around no doubt.
