Band Members:

From left to right:

EL GUERRERO (drums) The Warrior. The backbone. The muscle. Mess with the bull and you’ll get the horns. The head honcho – swift fists like Camacho. Mama was a drummer, Papa was an axe man. The only full blooded Rocky Mountain native – think it’s safe to say he couldn’t get much higher. Don’t turn your back on him baby, you just might wake up his magic sticks.

TONY DOLLAR (vocals, guitar, percussion) The Golden State Baritone. He’s money on the microphone and the change that the world needs. The future CEO of world peace. Money may be the root of all evil, but this Dollar is a small ax aiming to cut down the big tree of high society. He’s got a little boy with another on the way, needless to say, mad bills to pay! But Daddy gets down for his babies day after day after day.

THE CAPTAIN (lead guitar) The Captain will blow your f**king mind. Rockin’ like a Miami Hurricane, he’s a steppin’ razor, don’t you watch his side – he’s dangerous! He’s got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go – he smokes his cigarette with style. Cooler than a polar bears toenails, oh hell, there he go again playin’ that git. Bendin’ strings, bendin’ rules, he’s the captain on this ship of fools.

FRANKIE BONES (bass) Born in a crossfire hurricane, raised by a rapper and rhino that dated. He grew up with posters on his wall. He is small but he is strong – he’ll get it on with you. He’s a rocker. He’s a rolling stone – no time to lollygag or lounge with scallywags. He might be a little young but honey, he ain’t naïve.

FLYIN’ J (keys) Born and raised in the East Bay, been through Seattle and out to Denver way. Ridin’ cross the land, kickin’ up sand, as a junglist dj with the mic in his hand. If something wasn’t wrong then it just wouldn’t be right, so he’s working on his whip every day and night. He’s got a kooky green Lincoln, bad as anybody’s Porsche. On the keys he’s quite a force, layin’ it down in a rub-a-dub style.
