We spent all of 2002 living in the East Village, hearing live music, writing songs, recording them and doing all the unique things that only The Big Apple can offer. #2 - After our December Falcon Ridge In December tour with Nerissa and Katryna Nields, and Susan Werner, we once again realized how great it is collaborating with our friends. Watch out for even more wild and wonderful collaborations in the coming year! #3 - We have confirmed knowledge that at least one couple (no, it's not us) actually does Bossa Nova in the nude to our song "Galaxy Express" from our Evolver CD. We didn't think we'd be taken that literally, but hey, knock yourselves out! Looking ahead to 2003: Did we mention that we've been writing and recording? Lots of new songs are pouring forth, and we're starting to play them at our shows, so catch a sneak preview of the next CD by coming to one of our upcoming performances!
