• The Native American Plight…

  What gets you pumped?
  For us it’s listening to Europe’s hit track, “Cherokee” from the Final Countdown album.
  Something about hearing the struggle of a people with such adversity to awesome “1986″ rock was inspiring and mega rock-worthy.
  You could go check it out on YouTube.
  You know, give it a listen, and sing along if you like…

• A storm is coming…

  PRESS RELEASE: Murphy Civil War
  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE; 03/04/08

  During our set, high energy and wacky goodness prevailed. We were a little light-handed, down two of our prized players, but we were in it to win it.

  But despite a light house, Murphy still rocked the stage. Sick, tired, rain, sleet, and snow: Murphy managed to come out and play. Sweetness!
  Check out the Thursday Night Murphy show, here.
