04/11/10More Mars Metal From Deserts of Mars! Red Eyed Fly on Friday April 23rd!!!

We have escaped the depths of Winter and Mars Metal is back; heating up spring as we re-enter the atmosphere at a million miles of ROCK per second.
Bring yourself, your friends, your fists to raise and your heads to bang.
The Martian Empire starts now, and you can be a part of it!

BTW, shows start ON TIME at Red Eyed Fly! So, be there early to catch us at 10:30. If you show up late you risk missing Mars Metal, and you don't want to do that! Even better if you show up early to hang out and catch our friends Proze (formerly Molock). They always bring an awesome show.
