Great song by a great band. Been hearing this one at their live shows for years now and I’m glad to be able to listen to it on demand now.
My kid and I wrote a little song. His band expanded it, recorded it, and released it today. They're in an Exile on Main Street/MJ Lenderman phase. "Vegas, Baby!" by Black Cat Parade youtu.be/E0bvXbmaQ0o?...
