About Me

Jumper: Shake your hips and say yeah!
Based in Tucson, AZ; we're Drums, Guitar, Bass--two girls and a guy. We like to rock, jump and sing. If you like those things too, come down and check us out.
It's been about 3 years since we first got together. We were 3 girls and Nick then, but life's made us three. We recorded a demo at Waterworks in Aug 07 and we're looking to play so we can do the rock, jump and sing thing.
Future goals include: getting loud, jumping, kicking, spiting (maybe), and getting crazy. If you want to see a show--we’ll give to ya.
Bands we've played with: Love Mound, Fukuisan Go!, Evil Beaver (LA), Whiskey Dog, Worm, Great American Tragedy, The Missions Creeps, The Dead Tones, The Gunrunners, Mozart's Sister, Cadillac Angels (LA), the Downtown Originals, The Sunday Drivers, Cheepness, The Chris Callahan Experience, Rhombus, The Distortionists, Sketching in Stereo (PHX), The Runaway Five, Leila Lopez, Sacha Sacket (LA)
Venues we've played: Club Congress, Heart 5, Plush, Surly Wench Pub, Northshore, Vaudeville Cabaret
