King Khan 2008-07-14 11:02:29 next week we’re going to be re-united with King Khan. We had the good fortune of playing with him and His Shrines two years ago at Dan Burke’s NeXT Festival, and I can honestly say that they are by far one of the greatest live shows I’ve ever seen.

might be one of the greatest songs ever written. Why did this band have to break up? Go to www.myspace.com/thedeadlysnakes and see for yourself. Though we’ve only met one of these guys [...]

Welcome Back Winston 2008-08-22 14:57:10 We thought our van was stolen last night because it wasn’t where we last parked it…
