March 1, 2008 - Button Factory show + band practice
yesterday, despite the awful, awful snow, we had a solid turnout at our show at the Button Factory. i'd just like to thank everybody who managed to weather the..uh... weather? and come out. we had a great time, and we loved the performances by 15 Steps and Counting and Todd Donald (and the audience loved them too!)
we're not sure how many shows we're playing in march... we're spending a little more time practicing with the band because we want to rock for you guys in april. we want to get as much practice in as possible to sound amazing as a full band next month!
we'll still be doing acoustic shows, and if you check our shows pages we'll keep you posted about which shows are full band and which will be acoustic.
