Spanish Harlem première & London show!

Hey fierce ones!

it has been quite some time but we've been really busy writing and recording. We are really happy today to be able to debut on MBV's blog our cover of Spanish Harlem. It's a song we've been wanting to do forever and we finally got to it. Our rendition is actually a cover of the Phil Spector version (he wrote the tune with Jerry Leiber)...but hey we still love the Aretha and Ben E. King versions!

You can DOWNLOAD HERE or listen right below!
