Welcome!  

I\'m a groupie for my sister\'s boyfriend\'s band - they\'re a cover band for Green Day songs, and quite good at it.

They\'re based in Southern California - so far there have been gigs in San Diego, Orange County, and I think there was even on in Santa Monica.

They get a big break on 19 April playing at one of the more well known spots here.  I\'m really glad for them, and I\'m looking forward to it.

I\'ll definitely keep you posted if they get a gig in Boston!
