What's up guys. Just reminding all of you to go to my house Friday, May 24 at 7:00. It is a concert for my aunt and uncle's foundation... the Samara Jan Turkel Foundation. This was set up for their daughter, my cousin, who had auto-immune disease and died at the age of five. Its $5 to get in, $1 snacks and drinks. So its all for a good cause, and all proceeds go to the foundation. So go have a good time and listen to your favorite Weston bands. The order of the bands is as follows:
Good Times
Burnt Face
Mr. Holiday (we only play one show a year)
Mollases Tavern
Patient Zero
X-Akto
Side Project

Later -Kate- 02.05.02 : Derek Hey. As you may have heard or noticed, our show with Molasses Tavern on Feb 15 at Arch Street Teen Center is no more. Our Drummer beat the shit outta some kid at school and is now unable to play the show. Sorry about that. We are currently putting the final touches on "Palisades of Heaven" and are starting a brand new song (no name yet) We have two new shows coming up click here for a lil' bit more info:::::SHOWS
Recording sucks and we arent QUITE finished yet.....OK we havent started but that's because max's carpenters are slower than my saggy gramma....but that's besides the point. In case you hadn't noticed, we have some more pictures up from some live shows and I am goin to try and put a few more some time soon. click here to check out the ones we have so far:::::PICTURES Ok well that's all i have to say.
