WOWZA! Thank you North Carolina!!!! We had a blast on Saturday. I could not have asked for a better night. Raleigh, you definitely showed us love in our new home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so excited to be apart of your musical family.

Here are a few photos from the night. (click on the photo to be redirected) I would like to personally thank all the bands-Parlours, Canby, La Strange, Cashes Rivers and Bright Young Things for amazing performances. It was so nice to have everyone in the same town for a night of rockin! Thank you to all those who helped me make the paper mache ufo with a light in it, pass out fliers, hang posters, inviting your friends, coming, helping me host 4 touring bands and opening your homes as well and 88.1 WKNC for having us on the air. Of course lets not forget Busy Bee for keeping the HOT TOT BAR full and yummy.

Thanks for visiting our little website. I am in the middle of getting it all updated. Since my handy webmaster left I am slowly figuring out how this site stuff works. Thanks for being patient with me. I should have everything running smoothly soon. Keep checking back for updates and as always visit any of the bands myspace pages.
