Thanks to everyone for coming out last night at the Bootleg and to all the bands for playing, especially Foxtails Brigade (pictured above) for asking us to tag along. Be sure to pick up Foxtails Brigade's new 7" "Chat With Sivan" available here. It's a fine teaser for their debut record The Bread and the Bait due later this year. And don't forget to pick up new records released this year by all the bands.
