Teddy Faley rocking "P's & Q's" from "No Dough, No Show" LIVE

A while back we released a compilation in partnership with Soapbox Clothing called No Dough, No Show.  Teddy Faley delivered us a classic that summed up the whole concept of the project called P's & Q's that tackled the elephant in the room, that indie artists aren't getting paid what they are worth these days.  Teddy recently ripped this track live in his native Baltimore at Sonar with DJ Addikt.  Check it out.
