Band Members: We are ( in no particular order ) Jeff, Erich, Brian, Mike J., & Jim :Erich attempts to play; a very old Hammond Organ, dusty Synthesizers, creaky effects pedals, a couple of wood frogs, digeridoo's, and half-destroyed guitars...Jeff skillfully mixes drinks while playing ; his sweet Fender P- Bass, his equally sweet Alembic bass, some great keyboards, mangled guitars & occasionaly a vocal...Brian manipulates his electric & acoustic guitars with crazy effects, does a great job on timbales, bongos, finger cymbals...and harmonica.Michael J. Graehling; beats his thundering drums into submission, owns a lovely red electric guitar, whacks on my Udu ,makes his rain sticks rain ,rattles skull-shaped shakers, and even gets a good tone out of my cheap bass...Jim likes to hit things with big wooden sticks, drums, percussion, metal, it doesnt much matter ... stay out of his way...
