*News from Wayne Everett- The
tour was great! Many thanks to everyone who came out to see us, especially
those who traveled great distances! I had a blast, and I hope we
can do it again very soon. We just had a fun show at
the Glass House in lovely Pomona,
CA--much love to Greg and everyone at Goldenvoice for having us there so
often. To those in the rest of the usa: go see Duraluxe.
If you see them, tell them to get to CA.
*We are writing to say thanks to all
of those who came or tried to come out and see us on our mini run through
Texas. Thank you so much-it was a blessing for us to have you all
come out and hear our rock n roll. It was completely overwhelming.
Thank You,
The Lassie Foundation
