The South Has Been MIRKin Around...

Hello MIRKins!

So we began our Mini MIRK GRIND Tour this weekend. Here we are getting ready to kick it off...



Our first stop was Sidelines in Marietta, GA..here we are sound-checking



This place was awesome!! Great venue, great sound...We can't wait to get back there this summer!

We also had new stickers made up!



After our second show in Georgia, we decided to stop in New Orleans on our way to Austin, TX.
Even on a Sunday night, Bourbon Street is pumpin!



It is a very long drive and some of us just pass out in the Winnebaker...
