Band Members: The band consists of original members
Stein-guitar/vox/songwriter (proprietor of Umbilical records/Hamilton Street cafe and stage),
Trevorr- Bass/vox/songwriter (the art of noise and low notes-continuing to launch new projects),
Shawn- Drums (Highly skilled beatmaker, carpenter).
After Stien pursued other interests, the boys picked up
Billy Rejected-Guitar/vox/songwriter (frontman of the Rejected, Master of the social sciences) and then
Diggett-Guitars (music in the back and chaos in the front).
Influences: In order to annoy his little sister, Stein would cut mohawks into his sisters barbie dolls. The concept proved to be useful. Barbie's unrealistic proportions contribute to self-esteem and body image problems in young girls. Some may argue that Barbie's "career-oriented attitude" and success in "life" will give girls self-esteem and confidence. But others can argue the true facts; that a girl's first and favorite doll sets an unrealistic and impossible standard of beauty. Statistically, Barbie's proportions made life-size, are ridiculous. Not only would she be 7'2" tall, but she'd boast an impressive 40" bust line, a tiny 22" waist, and 36" hips. In addition to these absurd, and physiologically impossible statistics, her neck would be twice the length of a normal human being. Now is this really a good toy to allow our children to play with? The solution, challange and destroy the social norms and standards in the way of progress. Burn, destroy, and throw out all images of barbie. Mohawk Barbie!
