We just played our gig at El Rio in support of Canadian prog rock band Diatessaron (who rocked, by the way), and we will be on the other side of the bay a week from Sunday. We go on first at 8 pm at the Night Light, 311 Broadway, Oakland near Jack London Square. Our pals in Surplus 1980 and the Dirty Snacks Ensemble will round out the evening.
