Speechless. Seriously, last night was OFF. THE. CHAIN. The crowd was moving from the very first note and we could have stayed with you all night long.

Big thanks to the Satori Group for hosting such a wild night of schmoozing, snogging, and strutting. And, of course, Eagle Teeth got everyone in the mood…thanks for being there.

Have a happy New Year. Here’s to 2013!

If you missed The West on the You Can and You Will Podcast, we made it easier to listen. Play this video to preview a non-mastered track off of our upcoming album ‘In Low Light.’ It’s half the song, but it’s just enough to wet your whistle.
