Biografía:

Setting out to play real Traditional Country from the 1940's-1950's but with hints of Rock 'n' Roll, Punk, and Soul thrown in. Their debut album, "Ma... Don't Wait Up For Me" was mostly written and entirely recorded in June-July '08 about moving out West and bringing love with them, or in the others case.

This place is falling short and I'm too tall

My trouble are growing large and I’m too small

Well i'm shacking where i stand

Bleeding from my nose onto my hand

Well i dropped out of school to play on this guitar

Aiint stopping till I hit my own grave stone

Well I left my back in Chicago
A
That I look for in the crowd of all my shows
E
But i never see her face
E
Listening to this old guitar and bass

I blew my cash now all I got is time
A
To think of life, and all i've left behind
E
I got no place, A teenage nightmare
E
Always sleeps alone
[Chorus 2]
