Better late than never, right?
This is the first Aural Sex of ‘08, but I’m afraid everyone blew their loads over NYE, because there isn’t a lot out there…unless you live in Portland, Or. . .where they’re having a pretty salty bluegrass festival.
If you want your band or city added to the list, send us a shout at blog@brahsome.com.
And yes, Ms. Toniolo is my model of the week.
Keep it real, brahs.
