He sold so many cds in a little over a week, that I had to mail two more boxes to Spain for the second tour in a row! Thanks for the international support.

Once we collect them all, we will post them. If you read any press on us, please send it our way. Doug is recovering from knee surgery and the Sweet Ones are heading back on the road as soon as Doug can stand though a set. We wish him a speedy recovery. Crazy and the Brains are half way done with their third EP. This will be out in late spring early summer. They are a quick moving bunch. They have several weekend shows before their big summer tour.
