Over the weekend I stopped in to hang out with Tasi at their band practice. We talked about the Brand New EP, the release party last month at The Bootleg, and their upcoming show July 10th at Ballpark Village with The Urge. It was a lot of fun hanging out at practice, the guys even played me a new song they're working on. It sound fantastic! The word is they're working on recording it now and should release it as a single soon.
