Intergalactic Gold Party

couldn't fit the whole band in a photo!

We had an amazing time playing at the Intergalactic Gold Party! We had an extended 8-piece band, and we dressed up along with the gold theme. The crowd was amazing and they loved it! Thanks so much to hostess with the mostess Kris Hendrickson for having us! View pictures of the band here.
