Kinda just HAPPENED i guess, but nevertheless, I am now part of a band promptly titled....SHOWTIME! (yessss!) Ok, so far we have had the priveledge of playing around town, & a little abroad, sharpening our skills. We were blessed to grace the Athens, Ga's historical Midnight Iguanas Tattoo Shop's 20th Year Anniversary...which was AWESOME btw, along with one of my favorite bands, Scarlet Stich. (Shout out to BLUR Magazine) We've managed to hit one of the downtown Athens bands favorite, The Fabulous 40 Watt....twice...Once with the Return of Tommy Valentine & another with the powerful Deaf Judges for a slammin' Pajama Party...thanks guys..love it there. Bubba Sparxxx allowed us to open for him with a few other comrads, Valentine & West, Profound Breadth & Brian Walker at the wonderful Club Blonde in Gainseville, Ga. for Brenau University...cant WAIT to go back there!
