Porcelain And The Tramps<3
my third favourite band ever.
been a fan for like 2 years? still waiting on a CD :(
the singer, Alaina Beaton, penned 'How Do You Love Someone' for Ashley Tisdale's album, and did backing vocals for that track and 'Masquerade' and you can totally hear her.
she's an AMAZING writer, her songs are fantastic and I can't wait for her debut CD.

Good old Nick just keeps getting better and better. Amazing performer: he's a force of nature.

I like this group you put up. Very funky and sounds kinda like the music in I am Cuba. Love that rhythm and sound.
