We finally got a PA and we be gigging (two shows already -- next one is Jan 19th at Rack Daddy's in N. Dallas/Richardson).

Check out our Link Removed.

By the way, for you Longview bassists, is Chip still hanging out around Longview (killer local bass player)?
Also, there's a local drummer that's very good at classic rock -- goes by the nickname Uncle Dallas -- he and I were in a high school garage band back in the day.

I used to live in Mt. Pleasant (and that general area) on and off.

Shameless pluggin'... :eyebrow:

Link Removed (if you're on myspace, please request an add).

And again Link Removed.

We got some good talent and an awesome chick lead singer.

P.S. We have 9 shows lined up between now and the end of the year with more coming soon!
