Two album release shows are coming up: March 1st at Rancho Relaxo in Toronto (with Attaloom and Philip James) and March 8th at The Mansion House in St. Catharines (with The Bends and Kaptur).
"Camelot", a pulsating romp about greed and malfeasance, is chock full of blazing guitars and airy vocals. Think The MC5's "Sister Anne" crossed with TV On The Radio.
