1977 CHANGES NAME

Ok, first, check out the date, it's no longer April Fools day, so you can rest assured that everything from here on out will not only be deadly serious, but will rise to our extremely high standards of gossipy journalism, which is to say 'things we may have overheard in a bathroom, but it was kinda loud, so we're not sure.' But, one thing that you can definately scratch off and put in your wallet for a rainy day is this: the kids in 1977 have changed their name. Yes, the guys behind one of this years Official Skyline Feel Good Hit of the Summer Candidates shall now go under the way way longer nomer of The American Masquerade.

YO! The American Masquerade, drop the science of the decision on us: "There are many reasons behind it...but they don't matter." Oh. Mahn, we hate it when people don't play along. Regardless of the fact that they are no longer named after the most important year in all of human history, go check out The American Masquerade this Saturday (April 7th) at Java Jazz with Juneau and the N Crowd.

(PS - We are still in California)
