Noah(Ontario,Can) quote is painful:

"...The early days of the cover bands in local bars and clubs was a very exciting time for us. Packed dance floors and fans that would follow us around for miles! But, after we became Noah doing our original show, the bar crowds weren’t very interested in us. Area clubs were not interested in original bands. After we had worked so hard on the album we couldn’t find work. After doing a few shows we went back to doing cover tunes under the name “Thanks”.
