Band Members:"BLIND" WILLIE HIGHLIGHT (voz, guitarra rÃtmica y armónica):Nació en un cruce de caminos a orillas del Mississippi y renació en un estudio del Upper East Side neoyorquino. A los veinte años no sabÃa tocar un fa. Hoy tampoco. Por suerte, frasea como los elegidos. Quedan pocas voces como la suya.“Blind†Wille Highlight (Lead Vocals, Guitar and Harp): He was born in a crossroads on the Mississippi shore, and was born again in a studio at the Upper East Side New York City. He could not play a F key at twenty, nor nowadays. Fortunately he phrases as the chosen ones. There are just a few voices as his.........................................................
......."SMOOTH FINGERS" HIGHLIGHT (guitarra solista, teclista, y voz):Se ganó a pulso el apodo de “Smooth Fingers†en sus tiempos de tahúr por los casinos de Atlantic City. BebÃa mucho por aquel entonces, y era frecuente verlo discutir con la PolicÃa al grito de “le digo, agente, que como me encuentre cara a cara con ese tal Bruce Springsteen le partiré la caraâ€.
Sin ninguna dificultad saca de su guitarra geniales punteos.“Smooth Fingers†Highlight (Lead Guitar, Keyboards and Vocals): He deserved his nickname in his gambling days at the casinos in Atlantic City. He drank too much back then and he was often seen arguing with the cops screaming things like: “I’m telling you, agent, I’m gonna smash that Bruce Springsteen’s face if I ever meet him!†His guitar solos and riffs are High Art.........................................................
......."OLD" JOHN BIRCH HIGHLIGHT (bajo y voz):Los orÃgenes musicales de este “basementaper†confeso se remontan a sus tardes de baloncesto de alta escuela en el Boston Garden. Entre triple y triple de Larry Bird, el entonces no tan old John fue modelando su falsete. Más tarde aprendió a tocar el bajo haciendo guardia ante la prisión de Ãtica, mosqueado ante la posibilidad de que le concediesen el tercer grado al cabrón de Mark Chapman.“Old†John Birch Highlight (Bass Guitar and Vocals): The origin of this self-confessed “basementaper†came from his high school basketball afternoons at the Boston Garden. Between Larry Bird’s three point shots, then-not-so-old John was sculpting his falsetto. Later he learnt to play bass guitar while being on guard in front Atica State Prison, annoyed just considering fuckin’ Mark Chapman could get third grade…....................................................
..........."FRED" THIN MAN HIGHLIGHT (baterÃa):La Locomotora de Bérgida es la última incorporación a la familia. Thin se pasó meses regando con buen vino los ensayos de los High hasta que un buen dÃa, aprovechando que los chicos no estaban ya en plenas facultades, se sentó tras la caja y los platillos y comenzó a marcar un ritmo machacón y eficaz que recordaba al sonido de un ferrocarril. Era lo que hoy se conoce como T.A.L.T. (Tren Articulado Ligero Thin)
