some songs live in the studio. Tune into 99.5
FM at 11:00 pm. 04/12/2004 - We want to thank everyone for coming out to the shows the past few months.

- I think we've outdone ourselves
this time, friends. I've managed to con Eddie Spaghetti of the world
famous Supersuckers to come play with us next Friday, March 12th
at Herman's Hideaway. We'd appreciate it if those of you who are planning on going would hit our website message board and let us know if you're thinking about coming to the show so we can get an idea of how well this show will do. Getting sleepy.... 02/29/2004 - Big, big news... Eddie Spaghetti, who sings and plays bass for the "Greatest Rock-n-Roll Band in the World", the Supersuckers, will be joining us on Friday, March 12th at Herman's Hideaway. He's also the guy that we tied up and dragged into the studio and told him if he ever wanted to see his hometown of Seattle again, he'd better sing. And sing he did. As most of you know, he sings on "O.D.'d in Denver" and "Sweet Caroline". Don't miss this rare chance to see him perform at Herman's (first ever appearance) in support of his recently released, "the Sauce", which features very cool renditions of songs by some of the greatest country artists ever including the likes of Haggard, Cash, Kristofferson, and more. Oh yeah, and we're playing that night too.. 02/25/2004 - The band will have a small write-up in this Friday's Denver Post - see Kat Valentine's column in the Arts & Entertainment section.

Check it out at: http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36~78~1953173,00.html 01/23/2004 - We want to extend a very big thank you to everyone who made it to our CD release party at Herman's Hideaway. According to Herman's, there were over 700 people counted at the door that night. We sold out of CD's, and we had a hell of good time. Thanks for the whiskey too.
