We had our first rehearsal last night and it didn’t take long to recapture the magic.  Bo was laying down tasty licks, Tad was making terrible jokes, Cullen was continuing the streak as the nicest guy ever, Duncan was cursing his way through power pop hooks – it was like we never left. 

More importantly, we wrote a new song which combines our powers like Voltron.  And it just might be our most epic piece of work to date.  It’s all happening, Penny.  It’s all happening.  (February 9 at the Middle East Upstairs, to be specific).

For a walk down memory lane, here’s a video of “Boston Band Crush:  The Song” by the Champagne of Bands.  Bo’s guitar was out of tune on purpose, just in case you were wondering.
