Van Halen Train Wreck

I don’t watch TV anymore. There’s too much entertaining stuff on YouTube.

Video game background music gig

My rock & roll band is going into the studio today to do some music. It seems the developers of a Nintendo Wii game similar to Guitar Hero are fans. Should be fun to hear yourself play on a video game.
