Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

About Me

We are an Orlando based rock n roll band. I originally started the band in 1998 as a three piece instro surf band. Through years of jamming, gigging, drinking, carousing, drinking, smoking and all around misbehaving, we have evolved into something a bit different. We still play our fair share of instrumental surf rock but we mix it up quite a bit these days. The band has traveled all round the US (most recently we did a SoCal swing) and we have opened up for many a cool act.Current line up includes:James Humann - guitar; Jeff Nolan - guitar, bass , vocals; Shadow Pierson - keyboards, hotness and vocals; Mike Kossler a/ka Captain/Michael Landon/Lil Joe - Bass, guitar; Mark Janssen - Drums; Joseph Martens - Vocals and witty banter.Keep an eye out for the LIVEWIRE series on Orange County TV (Brighthouse Channel 98 - the local "cultural arts" channel). Our gig from Hard Rock Live a couple of months ago will be airing two to four times a month for the rest of the year. ..
