Mr. Hughes Come Home
Many of you know, our song "Mr. Hughes Come Home" was originally slated to be a part of the film "Don't you forgrt about me - the move". However, late in the films final production, the producers opted to cut both the song and our interview footage from the final cut.
So, the song was made available on our 2008 three song EP titled
Ultra Catchy Atomic Pop Interlude - you can listen to it on the audio page and download it at itunes.
Here are a few "blurbs" about about the song we've been getting in the light of the recent passing of Mr. Hughes.

Goodbye Dear Friend...
We wrote a song over four years ago about John Hughes that started us on an amazing journey. Today the lyrics of that song are bitter sweet.
His passing is loss to the entire entertainment community - and in our oppinion, the world as well.
Our hearts and prayers go out to his family, freinds and his countless fans.
"Mr. Hughes Come Home" is availiable on the "muisc" page - please listen and rememeber..
Your sad friends,
Rikk & Holly - JoyFocus
