Sorry for the blur in this 100 percent absolutely free video friends...as you can already tell, the phone camera was in cinematic mode by accident.... i'll be sure to fire the camera guy.

Check out The Band Loula…great singers with a very cool vibe...sweetheart people...i really enjoyed working with them.
