A very special swirlin’ thanks to the hep cats who are Swirve. We dug the scene that amazin' mad man Chris Curiel on trumpet, Tamitha Curiel on vocals and Gerard Bendiks on skins created to keep us movin', groovin' all night long!
HUGE thanks to Absinthe Lounge owner (and the hippest of the hip) Kevin Christensen for allowing us mad ones to go with our flow for OVER 5 years now. And a shout-out to the fine Lounge staffers Brian and John for keeping the mad spirits fillin' and swillin' for us mad ones.
And finally we would like to thank ALL of you who freely shared their hand claps, finger-snaps, hoots and howls with all the mad ones who got up on this sacred mad swirlin' mic.
