Oh We Are Young

My reconfiguration of Rush's classic Toronto Prog Rock anthem!

A 12 hour journey on a dusty dirt road, through the jungle, to Dar Es Salaam. I can feel the Earth breath and the stars watch down on us.

The Road to Dar es Salaam

This is the newest recording of Maria, off our 2010 release "Good Life". Chino unleashes on the drums about 3 minutes in. Hope you dig listening to it as much as we did recording it!

MARIA (good life version)

This is a live performance we did about two years ago. We played two sets of some of the best Nirvana songs, and we reworked the songs through our style.

How you dig  listening!
