Sophia Danai Delivered by The East Van



So If you're an artist that plays an Electone organ as part of your show you're faced with a major challenge. How the hell do you get it to your gig!?!
These things don't exactly fit in the back seat of your car you know. How did the organ get to Mount Pleasant Rize safe and sound?
Delivered by The East Van of course! Check it out....

Shout out to my homegirl Sophia Danai & The East Van crew for putting together this little vid.
