VIRB

Hey guys,
just wanted to touch base with you guys and say hello, as it's been awhile since I've written. First off, thanks to everyone that came out to the show in Hermosa Beach, all involved had a blast and me and the boys are really appreciative for all the positive words spoken. Second of all, thanks to Suzy's for hosting us and Tommy Peacock and The Gas for giving us the slot. It was our first show with the famed Tommy Peacock and The Gas (www.myspace.com/tommypeacock) and certainly won't be our last. I spoke at length with Tommy and we're definitely going to try to get some more shows lined up together. It's always great to find kindred spirits in music that are just as passionate and dedicated to their craft as you are and, even though our music is significantly different, the fact that we are all working towards the same goal really binds us and creates a semi-brotherly bond that really makes both parties feel at home.

For those of you that couldn't make it out (an hour from LA at 11pm on a THURSDAY, hah), there are some pictures from the gig as our fearless leader, Bianca, was there to capture Flavio's bloody hand (long story - actually, not really, he just cut his hand while he was playing. Very rock and roll.).

I also wanted to say that I did receive a lot of messages wishing us well from the people that couldn't be there (and some that could!) and I'm sorry that I didn't get time to respond to all of them, but it doesn't mean we don't appreciate it entirely, it just means that we are ultra-involved in the Rock for you! Hopefully, we'll see you next time. That's all for now.

R&R,
