About Me

We all met in New Orleans where we played every day all day on the street together, one day we relized we had became an "actual" band. A rotating cast of up to 10 pieces.... one that tours and plays shows, records cds, and yes even creates myspace accounts. After a long freight train tour of the east coast, a nice trip to the slammer, many drunken shows, and too many cans of beans to count, we decided to head west! AH, but winter's coming up yet again and the south will be calling, you'll find us either busking at Jackson Square, parading around the by-water or drinking rum by the tracks where the trains go slow...
