hey ya'lls, this is darren/heyguy/thehalfasianguy in the band checking in. i wanted to spread the word about a short little tour i will be doing...

i'll be hitting the road to play rock and roll honkey tonk with some friends from new york in a little less than a month. the band is called WARSHIP and is a new incarnation of some of my favorite people, francis mark and rob lauritsen, formerly of from autumn to ashes.
