(Guitar/Vocals)
Cory Wilds is a Seattle area native and resides in Renton, WA. Cory has been recording and performing live for over 20 years with various acts around the Pacific Northwest. Current influences range from Jimi Hendrix, Freddie King and Stevie Ray Vaughan to Joe Pass, Brent Mason and John Coltrane. Since graduating in 1993 from The Evergreen State College, Cory has continued to teach guitar by day in his Renton area studio and also co-owns Speedster Amplifiers, Inc. which manufactures high quality guitar amplifiers for some of the biggest names in the guitar world. Cory plays Boogie Bodies Guitars, Don Grosh Guitars, a few surprise guitars, and screams through Speedster Amplifiers exclusively.
(Bass Guitar)
Mark resides in Des Moines, Washington and plays Sadowsky NYC and Metro basses through an Eden WT-800 amplifier with an Eden 4x10-XLT cabinet. Mark's style incorporates many musical influences from varied genres including artists such as James Jamerson, John Paul Jones, and Derek Smalls. His playing style features a fat groove and a big sound. Mark and Dave have played together as a rhythm section for over 15 years and as such have developed a nearly telepathic musical interaction resulting in a very tight sound.
(Drums/Vocals)
Dave plays DW Drums and Zildjian cymbals. Growing up he idolized Led Zeppelin's John "Bonzo" Bonham, so obviously Dave is influenced by Bonzo, but you will also hear homages to Keith Moon, Stewart Copeland, and Ginger Baker in his playing. Samek has been producing sounds from various percussion instruments for over 25 years, 15 of those with "his own personal bass player" - Mr. Fluegel. He is a very proud graduate of the University of Washington.
Influences: Jimi Hendrix, Freddie King, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, the list goes on...
