Band Members:
Chuck Smith - Guitar
Chuck was born in a bunker just outside present day Moscow. His love for basket weaving is second only to his love of fine wine. He wears oversized turtlenecks year round and it is said he is unbeatable at Jenga. He holds the world record for most yodels in one minute (7,028).
Kory Burnette - Guitar
Kory is fluent in two languages: English and Metal. His beginnings can be traced back to 1932 when he was found in a ditch in Montana without any recollection of the first 7 years of his life. He was nursed back to health in the pouches of wild marsupials. At the ripe age of 9, he found his first employment as an Alaskan Crab Fisherman. He now owns and operates the 3rd largest llama farm in Kenya. Fun fact: Kory was an extra in Shakira’s Hips Don’t Lie video.
Nicholas Snyder - Vocals
Nick was born at an Indigo Girls concert circa 1980. He once defeated the beast Grendal in hand-to-hand combat. He is currently attending Brown University for an advanced degree in Astrophysics. His hobbies include water polo and big game hunting. He is credited with the invention of the Toaster Strudel.
Seth Lykins - Bass
Seth is a horticulture enthusiast and finger painting prodigy. He has attended every major Nascar event in the last 22 years. He once climbed Mt. Everest with nothing but a fork and pure brawn. His love of Indonesian Hair Metal is the driving force behind this band.
Zach Walton - Drums
Zach spends most of his time tending to his pet Alpacas. When he’s not doing that, he’s listening to Ted Nugent and practicing the French Horn. His other hobbies include baking and knife throwing. He is the Co-Founder of the Gilmore Girls Fan Club.
