That’s right. We are finally a four-piece band again.

Last month I went and scouted a keyboard player at my friend’s wedding, and our bassist went and scouted a new drummer someplace online. What’s great about the new guys is that they both understand and treasure humor, which is the basis of the basis of this band.

More details to come soon.

Big hugs,
