The Fagettes, Vol. 2 cover

O HARK! Our very own Vocalist/Saxist Melanie Bernier has created a very handy dandy album cover for our upcoming EP, creatively entitled "Volume 2."
Music to follow, arriving in time for our WEST COAST TOUR!

Saturday Potluck at STORE 54

Sound is not the best, but the visuals are oh so beauteous.
