THANK YOU

Thank you to everyone (all 700!! of you) who came out to our showcase on Saturday. It was a huge success and it was amazing seeing all of our friends playing at the bowery ballroom to a sold out crowd without any sort of reunions, special guests, or other gimmicks. It was just as great seeing all of our friends in the crowd.

Here's some video:
