As Always

March 2004 was a busy month in NYC for the band. Between holding down a weekly residency at FEZ, Howard's first-ever duo show (featuring Jim Whitney on bass), and the first showing in over two years of "WE ARE DESTROYED" at Joe's Pub (featuring the band and four actors!), there was a lot of activity and excitement in HFQ land. As always, it is your continuing support and belief in independent music that makes it all possible. So, thanks to all of you and hope to see you at a show soon!
