I'm not insulted at all. I don't mind the website. Would you rather have
nothing? I think its a great source of info. Whoever thinks it sucks, why
not start your own site. So, for those who don't like it, what site should
people go to for gig info and news on whats happening with the band? Anyone?
Cheers STEPHE
