About Me

Started by Andrew Claydon and Don Blum back in 1998. After going thru a few bass players, Ben Mancell came along in 1999 and understood what we were doing. He was a perfect fit. Ben insisted that we didn't need a singer and we where fine as a power trio. That was pretty much it. We had some down time in 2002 when or practice space flooded and Don started touring with the Von Bondies constantly. We then replaced him with Shawn Gates in 2002. Shawn left in 2004. Ryan, drummer for The Piranhas, played for us on our 2003 west coast tour. Steve Marton is now our current drummer.Andy and Steve have a hardcore band called Minus9.Ben now lives in New York and is playing guitar in the band The Imaginary Icons.
