TROMBONE FRONTED MUSICAL PROJECT: GERÄUSCH!

PRESENTATION FROM TAPEWORM CORP.

Might have something to do with that, might not. One of the most exciting corporations to ever have a home office in this city!! We demand you to open up your intestines to Tapeworm Corp.

EXPERIENCE A REAL VACATION!
Neuroscientists say that your brain can’t tell the difference between something you vividly imagine and something that actually happened to you.
