"I've been very lucky, in that I met incredibly influential in the local music scene early on.  Xanna Don't being one of the first.  She believed in me so much, and really fought to get my placement in SXSW's first "out" showcase.  Initially, my application for a featured showcase spot was rejected.  But Xanna literally campaigned for me, and within days, I was notified of my official showcase spot."

" Stage view of our full house South by Southwest showcase, at Rainbow Cattle Company in Austin.  It was a dream come true...to walk into my first SXSW showcase, with a killer band, a very successful record and a terrific review in Billboard.  I'll never forget the feeling playing that first song for that crowd in that space...it was incredible, a moment frozen in time for me."

"2003 was a good year of hard core gigging.  While our playing had become air tight...the set list was beginning to become stale...we'd been playing and promoting the same music for three years now.  By the end of the year, we had all but disbanded.  In hindsight, it was a natural creative evolution for all of us.  To this day, I'm still very close with Cheri & Chelle."
