First/Last-Maniac

Saturday, April 28, 2012
Millvale

"Shawn Harris and Jake Griggs are best friends, and both singers. It's just heaps easier. They make records, print art, and do parties at their house; first in Sydney, and currently in Los Angeles. Recently, they hitch-hiked to NYC from Barstow, with only a ukulele, and guitar, and a camera."

They bring their party to Smalls this Saturday on a bill with Foxy Shazam, Cadaver Dogs and Dazzletine. Score tickets here. Shawn and Jake were nice enough to participate in this edition of First/Last.
