    I have a new thing going called Desert Legs. Life is just sooo busy so I am skipping all the packaging details and any costs of material and streaming the first demo song on its own profile on this site. Setting this up is hard bc I am in a rush to head out the door for now, but if there's any interest all I would think searching Desert Legs would do it. The track is there somewhere haha. Roger plays the drums and Darin Edu is on the bass.

    There we were... The Pine. Knowone watched us play. We Dissapointed peope constantly. We offended people religiously. We ate all your food without asking. We woke you up early. We kept u up late. We overstayed our welcome. So many stories. So much fun. We loved to play. We loved our songs. We were all we needed. I can't Remember a time that we weren't Laughing. Everything was so simple back then. Four kids in a tree. The Pine was real. [2] http://s.discogss.com/image/R-4155081-1357308467-9211.jpeg

    No reaching away stuff. Roger still writes of course, but it is himself under his own name. The band had many songs and a very, very small amount of shows.
