The best show I've seen in Calgary from easily the best local band. Absolutely floored me last night (no pun) and I'm glad my schedule finally allowed me to see you.

Thanks for the shout out too guys. I at least heard it from the washroom!

Sorry I couldn't stick around to say Hi. DD duties called...

See you next time for sure.

I dig your loose barrelhouse sounds and spooky harmonies. Your band has a great mix of sounds.I keep thinking of the Small Faces but I'm not sure why. There's something deep in my musical memory being triggered but there's a healthy mix of modern folk and dirty blues
