Yes jamming with a Salvation Army band after Satie's whiskey still blew sky high, staining the clouds rouge . . .
NO BIRDS are: Mitch Grier Will Kaufhold Ali Lake Ian Potts Adrienne Tastad Mehta Youngs Nathan Young Robin Wilson Charlotte Dykes

DON'T RELY ON DYING YOUNG on JIMMY GINTHER and STEVIE REEDS' fine Teargas
Recording Tree, with another on the way soon . . .so, yeah, the sun rises, the clouds part, I'm on my way to work at a job I hate, but there is always music, my friends, the song that plays on, MARVIN GAYE loves me, NO BIRDS love me, and that's good enough right now baby . . .
