About Me

With venues played such as the Hi-Pointe, Pop's, Mississippi Nights, the Midwest Music Pit, Cicero's, Blueberry Hill, The Creepy Crawl, Off Broadway, Lakeshore Theater in Chicago, Keiner Plaza, Al Hrabowski's, McMurray Music, Stacy Park and others, we are gaining alot of experience. The band has been around since 2003, although we have changed lineups since our first show. Matt Price (guitar 1) has been playing with Frankie Reedy (vocal/bass) and Alex Frankel (drums) since their time spent in Dave Simon's Rock School, starting about 2 years ago. Frankie and Scott Evens (guitar 2) have been playing in a jam band with each other for about the same amount of time, although just recently has Scott been with the rest of the band. We dont try to prove you that we kick the most ass. We don't scream. We're just trying to have fun and make rock music to please ears. Vocals aren't our strong point but the music is what makes us. Thank you for listening.
