Luna played 23 Minutes in Brussels and Bonnie and Clyde.
The girl with Sam Champion served me a beer earlier in the night.

I meant Dean and Britta played those songs, though it was sort of like Luna, as the other guitarist from Luna, who was playing with Bango, joined them.

I need a BRITTA FILTER.

Daniel pulled a tendon in his knee. He won't be on the upcoming tour because of it, but Jose from the band Ozma will be filling in on bass. The band is okay.

This was an awesome night. Bango sounded great!
Great way to support him and feed your head is to pick up one of his great albums. He is a SUPERB songwriter -- great words, excellent melodies, uncanny pop sense, well-crafted records, like that.
Collect 'em all! The new one is here:

Duh, 15 to 25 year old sexual comment posted here. White children with no respect for women or each other. Sad.

Geneology question. I had a Great-Uncle Frank and Aunt Mary Bango who lived I believe in Brooklyn. My Grandfather was Salvatore Bango. Are we related? Mary from Pittsburgh
