The ability to… Continue reading SU Reviews: Patrick Straw

Victims of Lunchbox’s trick
The Shagbots have seen some shit, but they’re a little too modest to brag about it. Starting off in a dingy basement in 2006, the ‘Bots kicked things off with a bang, beating Kara Keith and Hot Little Rocket in the Fuel 90.9 Big Rockstar Competition, where they won $26,000 to record their as of… Continue reading Victims of Lunchbox’s trick
