WELL SHIT. Thanks to COVID-19, this show is off. We're being responsible and backing out of the Cubby Bear show. We're crossing our fingers that we'll be able to play there sometime in the future. While we're all waiting, be sure to check out the bands we were supposed to play with that night: Kasador, The Mild West, and The Gaffes. We gotta keep supporting live music as best we can!

NOT April 22, 2020

Well we were hoping to rock out while other folks did open mic stuff, but I guess we'll have to wait!! Originally Wednesday, April 22, 2020 - hopefully we'll get to reschedule.
