You guys, remember when we had a LIVE BAND on stage with us!? THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!

Huge mahalo to our incredible musicians for having our backs all night and somehow making us sound like we knew what we were doing.

These legends kept the groove going through every made-up lyric, random key change, questionable rhyme, and awkward dance move.
