    I miss this band so much! Never got to see them live. Hope they will return some day, and maybe play some shows in europe.

    Really glad I saw this band multiple times before they broke up. I totally went to every signing and had such a big crush on Jason Hill in high school, it wasn't funny ehehehe.

    I miss Louis XIV :( It's a good thing they broke up on good terms and said they'll be back together one day. Finding Out True Love is Blind has been one of my favorite songs ever since I first heard it in MVP Baseball 2005, 6 years ago.
