You may have heard of this place; the legendary New York City club where punk rock innovators like Talking Heads, Television, and Patti Smith got their start. We have a big show there Tue May 26th, an early set, 7:45pm, as the second of seven (count ’em!) bands that night! We’re garnering a bit of A&R interest right now, and expect there will be a few of those record label folks in attendance that night at the club. So for those of you in the NYC area (or those of you looking for an excuse for a road trip!), come on out to CBGB’s and cheer us on!

No Comments on “River To The Sea” In Soundtrack

“October Sun” closer “River to the Sea” had it’s big screen debut in the soundtrack to “Eat Me“, an independent feature film by Joe Talbott, at the Johns Hopkins Film Festival in Baltimore April 18. The film was scored by my former bandmate (Big Bang Theory founder) Sam Spencer, and includes some great music by DC area artists. The screening was a big success, and the film will hopefully secure a wide release in the coming months!
