checked out some of their songs, a really cool band. the sound is a little upbeat for me but i wouldn't mind going to one of their gigs if i had a chance.

no comments so far? i guess no one here wants to listen to them cause they don't have pre-fabricated pretty faces, wear makeup and think they are goth.

Ahh, at the time I couldn't go because of finals, or something. But I might go to this one.

Lucky you though, five minutes away! It's a must. And for $13. smile.gif
