Animal Hands

Say friends,
Tim Farrell here. Just a little "hi-ya" in your inbox to tell you that my band, Animal Hands, is playing a big show for the CMJ music festival this friday night at Union Hall in Park Slope, Brooklyn. We are the first group to go on out of four, so I am told we will be on around 9:30 or 10pm. If you are out and about, stop by why-don-cha? We are five fun, friendly, fanscinating fops who put on a nice little rock show.

Hope to see you there!
Timothy Stephen Stephen Farrell
