About Me

Damn, we've been around a long time. Too long for some. Not long enough for others. To be honest, we're just happy to play music and damn fortunate enough to be doing so. In 14+ years, we've made a slew of friends, a few enemies, hooked up a ton of good folk and probably even broke up a few nice couples. Hey, it happens. Not really our fault - hopefully.It goes like this. 14+ years, close to 1200 performances in the Tri-State Milwaukee, Illinois, Iowa US, 2 CDs of original material, a S..@t-load of cover material, and a goatload of fun for us. That's right - a goatload. Can only imagine how that word has ever previously been used.Musical styles are all over the place cuz' there's just too much damn good music to limit yourself. If any of us was king at any given moment, who knows what this would turn into. Instead, we're all over place. Reggae one moment, retro the next, some recent hit to follow and Bejeebers only can predict what comes a-knockin' next.
