Alpaca! Live @ the Goodfoot Thursday Jan. 21st

The Goodfoot had some nice things to say about Alpaca and their upcoming show at the Goodfoot, which will feature Mimi and myself as singers and movers!

ALPACA! @ 9:00pm

Alpaca! is electronic/jazz/jam quartet whose original compositions and stellar interplay have built them a solid following of both head-nodders and dance lovers. Tonight they will be joined by members of Fruition for a special evening of music. $6

hear that? "Stellar interplay"! Can't wait. These boys are absolutely the bee's knees! We'll be doing another Variety show in march, featuring all members of BOTH bands! Silky.
