Sorry, gotta spam a little for me an Tyler's band, Light Skits. We'll be playing at The Bottletree Cafe in Birmingham, AL on Feb. 18th with Unwed Sailor if any of you guys live around there. Say hey if you do! You can download the CD here:
New band namers take note. Having a name that makes people feel foolish saying is a lousy plan. That said, ignore this particular name and give its attached ep and album a listen.

Something to snap your fingers to in the car, if so you need.
