About Me

The recordings we have here are just live recordings we just play we don't record. 1997 was the last time we sat down to do a recording. The rest is live to tape player. It's hard to pick just a few songs out of so many to describe us to someone who has no clue about us. There's our punk our ska our country . What do you choose?
We have been around since 1993 amassed 18 albums, a couple of live videos, and 130 or so known songs. Yet noone knows who we are. We have remained hidden away in the town of Brantford. Some have called us inspiring some have asked us to play more Skinard some have said our songs all sound the same. Yes that is because we use different cords and a different riff each time we play a song. Very original indeed. Some have been scared to see us live. Some bar owners have worried about their tables. Some have no clue what it is we are doing, were doing or did do.
After years of playing together often in the same town. We moved away and pursued our own adventures. Jan is now doing his solo Thomas And The Evil Computer and Beep , Jeff is playing and writing songs with Onya and Junior Jellybeans . Rob is doing his solo projects Food and Quieky . Yvan has his Robotic Jazz Orchestra . But eventually over the years we have all ended up back in good old Brantford.
Our last show was December 29th 2005 at GP Grumpy's in Hamilton, Ontario. Surprise we did it again! December 3rd 2005 with Vic Moya's new band Victory Manual. Our previous show was April 9th 2005 , in Brantford, with the Flamingo-gos and the Earthlings . Who haven't played a show since 1996. We don't get out much as you can see.If you want to know more check out our website it is quite and extensive site about the band and should contain anything you wanted know about us. It is also an archive of bands that were around in Brantford, Ontario during the mid-1990s.
