It's been a long time...

I shouldn't have left you without a post for this long.... even if no one is checking for it!

OK, OK, so lots has happened since 08. Our EP Warning Shots is out. you can cop it through various online stores including iTunes

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=308023870&s=143455

We also did a little Canada tour with DJ Babu all the way from Winnipeg to Halifax. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us, there was a lot of love shown to us and Babs and won't forget it.

What else, what else. Oh!

Our debut album "A Shot In The Dark" is coming out on BBE records (same as the EP) July 7 for North America and June 23 for the rest of the world. Hmmm that seems backwards. We put a lot of work into this album so I hope all yall are feeling it.

I guess that's it for now. Expect posts with to come more regularly in the future.
