BALLYHOO and Tribal Seeds show review

I went to the Tribal Seeds and Ballyhoo show last night, and the show was great.  Beyond Sight/Gonzo opened with a thirty minute mediocre set filled with way too much reverb.  However, their sax/melodica player stole it with his in your face solos.  Then it was, BALLYHOO!

A Quick & Dirty Guide to Branding By Robin Yukiko

A Quick & Dirty Guide to Branding By Robin Yukiko – March 8, 2013
