Chris Pitman update from first SexTapes show

SexTapes

Chris Pitman left an update in his personal website regarding SexTapes' first live gig. Here's what he had to say.

"We finally got our zhit together and did a live gig, of course under the name of FREEPORN, as we are testing the waters, so to speak. But it went really great despite a few technical difficulties, but hey, thats why its a test gig. But all in all it went great and the crowd was fun and crazy. Can’t wait to do it again, Im addicted!

We are now very confident with the show and will present shows in LA very shortly.

One Gig in the future is with, Pygmy Love Circus, Sturgeon, and SexTapes at the Key Club Hollywood on Feb. 5th

There is talk of a future major tour with a HUGE Rock Band, but that will take some time to figure out if it happens.

Meanwhile, we are expecting SexTapes to be include in a Major Television Series very soon, I’ll let you know

thanks for subscribing to the newsletter -chris"
