We've got some great videos from the show to share, but for now check out their cover of BETTE DAVIS EYES originally by my favorite... Read Full Story
Although I don't normally post video's... this is one I couldn't resist. On my way home today listening to the radio I caught a flashback from the 80's... The provocative song about a femme fatale...
