Wow, we're eight years old. We've grown a lot in the past few years and we are super excited to be able to celebrate our 8th Birthday with some of you the next two nights at First Avenue. If you didn't get tickets, or don't live in Minnesota, we still want to have you involved.

How about a 9:30 Coffee Break to celebrate our 8th Birthday? Let's put together a set of songs that have the number eight (or 8) in the song title or that feature the number prominently in the lyrics.

Songs Played:

The Beatles - "8 Days a Week"
R.E.M. - "Driver 8"

Ben Lee - "Eight Years Old"

Dessa and Sean McPherson - "Figure 8's"

Southern Culture on the Skids - "8 Piece Box"

The Byrds - "8 Miles High"
