About Me

sad but true, but this page shall now be an archived page of our favourite band, us! songs will be rotated and new pictures will go up and we'll still be able to be reached through here, but the quiffs are now dead, so don't expect any more shows. thanks to everyone who came out to our last show (it seemed like whole city!) and also everyone who always supported our shows. you're mega!
