It took awhile but Amrev 2
answered my questions and here are the short answers. This happened in
October-2009.
History?
-The band started in 2004 as
a 3 piece. We've been through a few bassists
but have had the same singer/guitar player and drummer. In 2008 we added a
sax player and since we've been a solid four piece. We've released 3
records and have played over 200 shows (WE'VE LOST COUNT) plus a few tours.
