I SUBMITTED TO THE INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS BECAUSE... The IMAs are one of the most prestigious awards for independent artists, and being selected can give you so much exposure and open lots of doors.

9TH ANNUAL IMA JUDGE YOU'RE MOST EXCITED ABOUT: Zooey Deschanel! I LOVE her- she is unique, sooo hilarious, and extremely talented. It would be very cool for her to listen to our songs.


I'M PROUD TO BE AN INDEPENDENT ARTIST BECAUSE: We have the freedom to do whatever we want with our music, and to sound exactly the way WE want to sound. There are no confinements.

WHAT'S NEXT: Our next album is due to be released in early Fall 2009

SUCCESS = Having lots of fans who truly enjoy our music, and being able to play great sold-out shows.

WHAT MAKES YOUR BAND STAND OUT: We have a modern twist on classic rock with a young female lead singer.

WHERE DO YOU TOUR? Up and down the West Coast.
