We love these guys:

Posted on November 14, 2011 by

The Bubble was recently invaded by some rad rockers, Burning Avalanche. These guys are awesome; great sense of humor, very playful, neat characters, and they love rock n’ roll! All of these traits are certainly reflected in their bad ass tunes. Frenchie really enjoyed working with them as a band and as individuals.

Check out a newly finished song and be sure to catch them live- they have some gigs coming up!
