We are bringing our special brand of punk, rock and soul to the following towns in the western United States..practically to your front door. We can’t wait to spend some quality time rockin’ the homeland. We will be hitting the following states specifically: California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and Texas. Currently the dates on the website feed to BandsInTown and all the dates have not been posting properly. We hope to have that cleared up this week so you can purchase your tickets well in advance.

So we decided to do something special for our new tour and to shake off the last remnants of the "Cold-Front." We've changed our theme and let the sunshine in. So often we don't get a chance to do everything we would want to to the website or social media mostly because we have so many other things to do when you are not on the road or in the studio. We are so grateful for the fans we have and these multiple ways to communicate with them. We are making an effort to create more creative bits than just music. I've also made some changes to the way comments can be made on the site after spending a few hours weeding through quite a few posts by "bots" that had nothing to do with the folks I made this site for in the first place. You now have to sign in to post. It really isn't to make it harder it's actually to make it softer and more personal so please do not take offense.
In addition to the website changes we have a new tour to Europe starting on May 22nd. The dates have been posted under SHOWS and are listed on two pages even though it looks like one because the maximum number of show that can post on one page is 20. That might be too much information but I get asked a lot so just click "2" to see the rest of the dates.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by. We have more to post and trying to get better at doing that. Every visitor we get here is appreciated.
We made it back home after six-weeks of almost none stop touring and faced the European "Cold Front" to boot! So many thanks go out to all the fans that were there after we had to cancel the fall tour unexpectedly. We know that every show may not have been rebooked but for those venues that did and those fans that made it out, we are grateful for your support. We could not go on as a band without you.
We were fortunate enough to celebrate our anniversary while we were there making the tour extra special.
"Punk Funk Rock Soul - Vol. 2" was released on February 2nd and makes up the bulk of our new set list. Find your copy at shows or at finer record stores.
We were also able to get back over the Finland after a 7 year absence. So nice to be back there and rock those northern lights. Since it is always cold there at this time of year there was no other name for it other than "winter."
Now that we are back home we are preparing for the recently posted spring/summer dates including Denmark, Serbia, Czech Republic, Croatia, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Austria and Slovenia. I get excited every time I list them.
We are doing a lot this year and hope you keep visiting us here as we find more ways to help you find that rock show you need to be a part of every now and then.
