About Me


First of all, thank you for stopping by our site. It is 2008 and you are on the internet investigating our little rock band from Illinois. Maybe you’ve heard us a million times or maybe you just tripped and fell on us during a stimulating session of internet surfing. The important thing is that you are here now for good or ill. I could go into the whole “it’s really hard to describe our music” thing but I don’t think that is something you want to read. It is, unfortunately, your job to listen to it and decide wether you like it or not. It’s been said thousands of times. “We just work here.” I do, however, want to mention we are coming out with a new compact disc for your listening pleasure. You can hear four tracks from the previously mentioned compact disc above. Maybe you could come see us live too! That would be fun. We could talk about how you found us on the internet and decided to come out to the show. But, until then, drive fast and take risks. Fight inflation, not farmers.
