About Me

We're four name brand NYC musicians. We've all been on the road with some of the rocking R&B and punk world's most luminary icons of the last three decades. We decided to meld our talent and knowhow, experience and bad taste in fashion into a band that would have the subtlty of a runaway R&B freight train---and we're having a damn good time doing it.
We've played with the likes of The BMTs, Brian Setzer, Bo Diddley, Billy Lee Riley, Link Wray, Dave Edmunds, Joe Ely, Roland Jane's Sun all-Stars (Sam Phillips, Memphis), Wayne Kramer, Taj Mahall, Junior Walker, Sonny Burgess, Garland Jeffries , Grahm Parker, Glenn Matlock, AC Smith, Chuck Berry, Dean Dillon, Genya Revan, Sonny Terry & Brownie Magee , Missisippi Fred Mcdowall, Coco Taylor, Queen Ida, Sweethearts of the Rodeo, Dicki Betts, The Senders, Robert Gordon, Savoy Brown, Link Wray, (ex-NY Dolls) Sylvain Sylvain, Jerry Nolan and Johnny Thunders, The Waldos, The New York Dolls, Rob Stoner, Tony Garnier, Chris Spedding, Howie Wyeth, DGeneration, Roy Buchanan, Earl Scruggs...
What comes next? Kick out the dogs and turn up the beasties!
