Wanted to reach out to all of you to give you some news and details about our NYC and SXSW shows...but most of all to give out the following gift.
We recorded a cover a few days ago and wanted to "hand" it out! We've been wanting to do this tune for a long time, ever since I saw it on tv a few years back. It's a cover of french singer Gilbert Bécaud and it's called "Toi". The important thing is that he sings the song in a special italian version in an amazing scene in the 1965 movie "Io la conoscevo bene" by Antonio Pietrangeli. We did an english version. Check out the famous scene from the movie here http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Now you can DOWNLOAD ours.
