TIPS for a Happy Life

This photo is one of those rare moments that we get freebies on stage...

The best part about playing the streets is getting those TIPS :-)

 It's been a while since we got some free cash actually... Guess the world is indeed in an economic crisis....

Band Fact: Every song request you make with us will cost you USD 5 LOL!

Here's Fab getting a tip. Remember people. The best things in life are not for free.. they cost USD 5 ;-)

All great guitarists have cigarettes in their mouth when they play.. I tried to copy it but it doesn't work for me :-( I think I should grow a goatee instead
