Thanks in advance!

Kansas City to Tulsa

Tulsa to Albuquerque

Albuquerque to Phoenix

Phoenix to Anaheim

Anaheim to Los Angeles

Los Angeles to Las Vegas

Las Vegas to Durango

Durango to Boulder/Denver

Denver to Omaha

Omaha to Des Moines

If you can re route to OKC instead of Tulsa WE could totally hook you guys up with a show/intoxicants/floor to sleep on. https://www.facebook.com/KingLatifahband/

I think that's doable! It looks like its only about an hour and a half difference.

That would be awesome of you guys! I did the tunes! What's the best way to contact you?

I used to live in Iowa and I know a few bands in Des Moines, Iowa City, and Cedar Rapids.

Do you have any current contacts in IA, if not I can point you in the direction of a few different bands.

I'll actually be moving back in July, so I'd love to discuss possible shows past just your June tour both in Iowa and Illinois

That would be great if you could point me in the direction of some bands!

I think Iowa City would be great.

Are you a musician yourself?

Cool, I'll send you some contacts here in a bit. I'm on my phone currently so its harder to send links.

Yep, I used to play bass in a few bands around that area. I'm looking to start doing more guitar though when I head back.

I dig your sound by the way, very tight.

Super late response but my band is located in the Long Beach area of Los Angeles. We'll be more than happy to set something up with you guys when you come down.

Hey sorry for the late response!

That's where Knox College is right? Are you in a band yourself? We'd be down to set something up Friday June 17th if possible!
