sweetdrippin' whiskey soaked old style alt-country

About Me

border="0" /Sexy, female fronted 5-piece combo that combines old style alt-country/americana, roots and a bit of that ol' fashioned rockabilly to make a whole new sound all their eldoradorian own. Oh, and that is "eldorado", one word, lowercase, no capital and no break between the "el" and the "dorado". shheeeesh, whaddya think we are? a car? a bar? a record by ELO? no! a band, this band!
