    I love the free concert I get because my house is within earshot of the Band Jam at the SW Athletic Complex. It’s great music to do yard work to.

    I can’t wait!! Went for the first time last year and it was awesome. Chaotic Noise’s joy while playing is absolutely infectious & makes me want to become a musician in my old age!!!!
