Band Members: Main Dudes:
Dave Webb: Owner (ha!), producer (ha ha!), huge, over the top guitar solos, bass (not in the pocket), casios, applier of reverb to crap performances, really shitty live drums (getting better?), great drum machine programmer.
Jared Nelson: Guitar, journalist, philosopher, noise freak, wrote an 800 page history of rock and roll while still in high-school for fun, afraid of "the man".
Other Dudes:
Mike Van Bebber: Holds 2 masters degrees in music (for real). He can tell every note played in a guitar chord with heavy distortion in 2 seconds (that's perfect pitch kids)...he lends his skills in trumpet, keys, harmony vox, production skills and general music know-how. This man will be mixing Jared Nelson's new record fairly soon.
Chris Borgia: The go-to guy for bass and all around dudeness. Chris has gotten us outta many a sticky situation. Also a founding member of Beer-Sandwich.
1/2 ass alumni:
Roman White: Lives in Iowa now, Guitar, keys, ex-janitor, able to created evil/violent music on any instrument, knows Chinese. Roman is a harsh critic of man.
Rigel Wise: Currently lives on a boat in Alaska or PDX or the 1/2 ass couch. Loves "Northern Exposure". Rigel is typically "easy going" yet kicked in our front door in an alcohol induced rage one night. Still he remains a core member of the secret inner circle.
Dash Pilcher: Drums, amazing harmonies and background vox, Jared writes songs about this man often. I heard he moved to Texas with an achin' in his heart....

Sounds Like: ON RECORDS YOU MIGHT HEAR:
Tube amps, fuzz pedals, room sounds, 4-part harmonies, delusions of grandeur, joe-meek compression, lots of panning, guitar solos, tape hiss, stereo acoustic guitars, friends talking in the background, collective improv, 4-Tracks, drum machines, cardboard boxes, tambourines, a salt shaker full of coffee beans, dudes who can’t sing, guitar-players pretending to play other instruments, the Casio SK-1, good ideas while drunk.
LIVE YOU MIGHT SEE AND HEAR:
Beer Sandwich: Jared, Dave, and Borgia keeping it so real it hurts. Amazingly sincere rock and roll that is neither ironic nor retro. No fucking Oasis style crap either. We are loud and all play solos. Jared has been waiting his whole life to be in this band.
Wah-Wah Exit Wound: Prog-Rock played by real dudes..... The myspace page of the 'Wound
R.I.G.E.L/Wolf-Horse: May rear it's ugly head at any time so watch your neck.
Remember, you can get almost any 1/2 ass release at a Beer-Sandwich gig. We have sweatshirts that slay big time too. Free Cobra Wolf merch until we run out (hopefully soon) because that band is done like hammer pants.
