You can listen to it here. We are actively seeking gigs in Philadelphia and Lancaster, PA (and points in between) for the summer and fall of 2009.

If, like us, you crave new, original music, please listen and tell us what you think.

We’ve been taking our good sweet time making new music and rearrange some earlier material from Bil’s Expendables, and a tune or two from The Fontanelles.

Listen to our emerging sound on the band website.

We’re also on myspace. Come be our friend.
