Materialism has never been so ominous as now in North America, as management takes over.
I also remember the second band I was in ever. We were called Hybrid. We got a show at this local street fair, and we were playing on the back of a flatbed truck. There was an ad in the paper, and it said that 'Hybird' is playing. I was so mad.
It's real time intensive so there's not much time for goofing around, but we are really close and we have a good time with each other. It's a great group.
