About Me

Started out as "the Mazzu-Menny". Had a good run ('96- '06). We never put out a formal studio album (Legal issues w/ the label). Shit loads of demos.... Played some great shows (some not so great), found lots of wonderful friends. Learned how to sing along the way. Some people should be so lucky!
