Band Bios Ben "Smedley" Smedley- guitar
The son of Finnish nomadic Gypsies, Smedley spent his early years traveling around Scandinavia with his family and the rest of their caravan. A chance encounter with Bjork at an underground Norwegian fight club prompted the blossoming of a beautiful friendship, and ultimately Ben's desire to become a musician (though not an Icelandic-folk-rock star as he origionally wished). He made his way to the states, and after a brief stint as the guitarist for The Proclaimers ("I Would Walk 500 Miles") he found his place in Yesterday's Gravy, settling in on the couches of its other members.
Bruce McWilliams- guitar
Born Seymore Alabaster McMillinanwife, Bruce was raised by a family of humble Mormon cabbage farmers in Northern Canada. One of seventeen children, Bruce found himself having to compete for his parents' affection (or else he would not get fed). From the ages of 6 to 14, Bruce tried various methods of entertaining them: flute playing, free-style walking, interpretive dance, and cactus juggling. At 14, he found true love in the form of a guitar. After moving to the thriving metropolis of Jacksonville, NC, he joined The O~D Band, which eventually spawned a six-headed, bucked-toothed, over-weight, hemophiliac baby named Yesterday's Gravy.
David "Peewee" Karle- percussion
Origionally from Syracuse, NY, Peewee came to North Carolina at a young age to get closer to nature and the small woodland creatures and what not and so forth. A practicing Hasidic Jew, Peewee enjoys stamp collecting, unicycling, candle-pin bowling, and attending band practice. Quite the philanthropist, Peewee sponsors a youth soft ball team and donates to several charities, including Kangaroos for Kids, The Republicans on the Moon Foundation, and The Wipe-Out-Hunger-In-Utah Campaign. Peewee is also an avid Buffalo Bills fan and enjoys painting his body red and blue and doing the Iggy Shuffle.
Greg Eriksen- bass
Growing up the son of wealthy industrialist Thaddeus Eriksen and Wisconsin senator Judith Barker-Eriksen was not as easy as it may sound. Greg was not allowed to make eye-contact with his parents, speak in public, or play with other children. If he misbehaved, he was chained to the radiator for three days, or beaten with a piece of hose with a rusty nail sticking through the end. In his teens, Greg found comfort and serenity in two things: Dungeons and Dragons and the flute. Unfortunately, a horrible balloon inflating accident rendered Greg permanently unable to play the flute, and he was forced to take up playing bass guitar, which he hates.
Sean Nelson- saxophone
Sean is a figment of your imagination, just another voice in your head. Obey his Dog!
Orlando "The O" Solis- drums
The O is a former member of the Iguana Low-Riders, a notorious Mexican gang in East L.A. After a run in with a rival gang member left him sans one kidney, Orlando headed east to leave his rugged life of crime behind. Ironically, he was held up and stabbed in a diner just east of Flagstaff by another former Iguana Low-Rider. Outraged by this act of utter disrespect, The O turned his assailant in to the police. To insure his future safety, Orlando was placed in the witness protection program, which relocated him to Jacksonville, NC, and delegated him to play drums in Yesterday's Gravy.
