Standing near the front of the stage with several of my friends, fellow bnb.com-er Laurel, and countless numbers of Rumspringa fans, we anxiously awaited their set to start. Instead of being greeted with the expected single “sway” the band assaulted the crowd with an infinite number of maracas- and my fellow movers and shakers on
Floating through the dangerous world of the MySpace “top eight” one night, I came across Fool’s Gold that immediately grabbed me.
