Big News about the Band the Steady Rollers who we have all come to know and love:

With a name change and a few slight changes in the lineup, the brand new formation making up “the Wet” will be showing off their new skills at the Annex Wreck room on August 27th as part of the Big Rock Untapped Semi final rounds.

I have a detailed interview with Mike Appleton (lead singer and organizer for the Steady rollers and now the Wet) coming up soon, so keep checking back here to get all the most recent news about the changes.  In the mean time.. check out the new site:  www.myspace.com/thewetmusic
