I went to the CD release party (with the lovely Kate, of course) for my friend's band, Big Hotel. It was awesome. They rocked the house. The new album is really good, you should check it out. They say the style is "rock/americana/classic"...I just think it's good. You can hear some of it on their MySpace site at www.myspace.com/bighotel. 

Also, if you want Big Hotel gear (shirts, hats, mugs, buttons, etc.) go to my web site at www.Flying37.com.
