Sandpaper Dolls puts on a fantastically eerie show at MEAT. [Music]
I was told hearing the Sandpaper Dolls at MEAT would be an unforgettable experience, but I was not prepared for how spectacular it ended up being. I knew the music would be great because I had heard the trio once before at the Rudyard Kipling, so the quality of the music was not a concern.

The linear pattern of nostalgia-ready bands reunited and world tour bound continues.
