squint News and Updates

The state of Texas has been ravished by drought this year, and now by wildfires throughout the state.  Just last week over 1,500 homes were lost to fire.

We have been asked to perform a charity event in Pflugerville, TX on Sunday, September 18th at Hanover’s Draft House.  We perform at 6pm on the outside stage.  The show is all ages and free – they request a $5 donation at the door.  Click on the link for more details:

“Goodnight, Bad Intentions is propelled by the drive and determination of its whiplash grooves, angular hooks and didactic posturing.” – M Music & Musicians Magazine
