“Parable of the Talents” by Satellites & Sirens
Right now we’re cruising through the countryside of Oklahoma. For a state that seemingly has only a few large cities, their attendance at shows is striking. We’ve probably played in Oklahoma five times in the last few months, and we’ve been impressed with the turnout each of those shows. Kudos […]

“Grace” by Satellites & Sirens
Hey everyone:) I’m writing you from sunny Los Angeles. I have to admit, I’ve always wanted to go to L.A. and now that wish is fulfilled. Granted, we haven’t really spent much time in the city, but mostly in the suburbs. For all intents and purposes, I’ll take that as […]
