If you're looking for a Saturday night fun time group, then The Pain is the band you wanna have in front of the audience.  These players are a rocking swing-a-billie jazz infested blues party ready to rumble at a moments notice.

This is a combo that can mix it up at a bar or party, entertain at festivals, or just plain groove in a mellow setting.  Check out the growing list of accolades at the bottom of this page!
