Just recently, Nathan Alhades was just added for his supreme skills in playing the alto sax. His addition fills out the horn section and makes the perfect mix of soothing sounds that the section delivers. Mix all of these ingredients together from the various backgrounds and you get one whopping helluva good time. The first show was at The Red Eyed Fly on June 2nd of 2007 and will play out sporatically from time to time. Since all the other members are in predominant bands, the shows will be few and far between. So make sure if you are a fan of having one of those good times, make sure to keep a look out for these guys. You never know when they might strike. Below are some videos from the various shows including a show on June 2nd at The Red Eyed Fly provided by Dave Prewitt from Capzeyez and March 14th show @ The Texas Rockfest during SXSW 2008 provided by Sean Claes of Austin Insite Magazine.....
