About Me

"We are a rock-and-roll power trio from the South Side of Chicago.We enjoy making music for people.We also enjoy the occasional cup of hot cocoa. The idea of sipping that warm chocolatey goodness while curled up in a blanket by a warm fire just soothes the soul. If you haven't already basked in the heavenly sunshine that is hot chocolate milk/water, then we suggest you step to it immediately. We are a simple band with simple pleasures, one of which involves baby oil and a lot of patience.This is who we are: Andrew plays guitar and he sings half of the songs in our band. He likes to recycle and eat rice, two separate but equal ideas. Mike plays the drums. There is not much to say about Mike, that hasn't already been said about a good circumcision. Nick plays bass guitar and sings the other half of the songs. He enjoys taking nude black and white photos of himself and calling it "art".Please enjoy everything you see and hear. "
