Final mixes + Video up!
We just uploaded all of the final mixes for our demo/EP which we are currently calling "Listen... we are going to have a conversation" (we can tell you more about that title another time). The amazing John Cuniberti (Joe Satriani, Dead Kennedys, Kevin Gilbert, etc) took our demo-quality raw tracks and turned them into magic and we are forever grateful!

We also had a great show over the weekend and ran some video which turned out passable for an unmanned camera and camera audio. Check out the video for "Way of the Groupie" in the media section or on our Myspace or Facebook pages. Big shout out to all of our friends who came out to support us in scruz!
