Thank you to everyone who came to our show last night at The Retox Lounge with Stripmall Architecture and Mountain Animal Hospital.
It was Dylan's birthday, so we dedicated 'Accusations' to him, and wished him a very happy birthday.
Our set featured a cover of a Halou song - One of our favorites, 'Blue Eyed Smile Girl'. We only decided to try and do that song last Monday, and we thought it turned out pretty good for having it such a short time.
Our song list:
Absolution (Gary Numan cover)
Another Fight
Accusations
The Feast
My Strength
Blue Eyed Smile Girl (Halou cover)
A Crashing Sound

A while back, I had the honor of doing a remix of the song Victoria by James D Stark. I am happy to report that it has just come out on a collection called Moonstruck - along with remixes by Beborn Beton, Iris, and many others. Oh, and 2 great new songs from James.
It was a really fun experience to remix such a fantastic song by an incredibly talented artist (from his album Music of the Night)
