About Me

As many of you know, the release of our full-length debut CD, "Big Killing," earlier this year marked the official end of thesociety's clandestine musical operations, and for several months we surfed a high tide of fleeting fame and even-more-fleeting fortune. Recently, however, lies, betrayal, and a host of unsubstatiated rumors and innuendo have led to a series of events that, unfortunately, has left us with no choice but to return underground. At this time, that's all we're at liberty to say. For more information, visit our official website , or our special place on NUVO’s virtual radio , where we’ve also posted a variety of songs, both old and new. You can also find our tunes posted on Musical Family Tree , the definitive site for Indiana’s independent rock and roll, and (just added!) VIRB . Despite what some may say, all songs were recorded live. Check them out!
