Band Members: John Skoglund, Brian Mason, and Derrick Surrett. John plays guitar, sings, and writes a lot of the songs. Brian plays drums, sings a little backup, and writes some of the songs. You can't miss him, his fro has reached "Wolfmother" status. Derrick wears a hat and plays the bass and wears down the skin on his fingertips and loves run-on sentences. But he does all that stuff like no one else in the history of the world. Welcome to Swedeland...
