Billboard Article

"Lesser-known performers made up the bulk of the evening: guitarist Josh Smith shredded his way through "Let's Dance" and "China Girl," and workaholic local musician Paul Chesne started nervous during "Jean Genie" before nailing the vocal and getting into a guitar-noise battle with Bundini at the end of the song, garnering one of the night's biggest cheers."

And here is the video of my performance...




Make fun of me!

We are your Valentine's.





Ke$ha played there 2 weeks ago and it was in People Magazines.

So you might wanna avoid it.
