Congrads to the Macpodz

Congrads to the Macpodz, the jazzy,funky groovers from A2. They were added to the Wakarusa Festival, a major festival June 5-8 in Lawrence KS. www.wakarusa.com
You all need to check these folks out.

And by the way and in fairness to the other "locals" out there, I will announce your band if you make it to a major festival as well. By major, it must have attendance of over 3000 people and have national acts playing.

From the podz site:

The Macpodz are gearing up for many moons on the road in 2008. We are looking to spend three weeks on the east coast in late April and early may. Also... It is going to be a great year for festivals..

www.archive.org (search Macpodz) and you will find more shows for free download.
