The jazz oriented Ghost and the City, Cartoon Violence, Hawk Jones, Jean Baudin and PORCH (feat. Todd Huth of Primus) represent some of the new bay area bands involved in the soiree." -Christopher Millard, Examiner.com

Hello you guys. I am a sentimental fuck and went to sleep last night with tears of joy in my eyes after our release show. To everyone who came to that show to support us last night, helped promote it, hosted it, and got our new album— I appreciate you and love you. We wouldn’t be anything at all without you. Thank you so incredibly much for being there for me and us and for helping us along. Our next stop is Decemeber 28th at the new San Jose Rock Shop with Picture Atlantic and French Cassettes. I hope to see you soon. Love, Kendall : )
