Matt has returned from New York and will be rejoining the band. The Possum's would like to welcome the stinky bastard back to the band. WELCOME BACK MATT!!

We would like to thank all of the drummers that we played with while he was gone. It would have been a very difficult decision to make if we had to choose one. Each drummer that came out did an awesome job.
THANKS AGAIN!!
