House of Fancy
Hello everyone!
Funny story: While traveling down in our veggie powered bus to perform at Bonnaroo last week, we stopped at a gas station in Virginia to pee and came upon 5XL shirts that said “Bushwick, Brooklyn, NYC.,..that’s the spot” at $2.99 each, they became our official uniform so we could represent down south!
Here’s what’s up at the House of Yes and beyond this week:
