Artist History Formed at Teter-Boisen IFS in the summer of '93 by Kmiecik and Seal, the band went through a variety of incarnations -- including at one point both Allen brothers, Jeremy and Matt. By the end, the money and the fame ruined everything, but at least we get our royalties.

Group Members Mike Kmiecik, guitar and vocals; Kevin Seal, keyboards, saxes, and vocals; Andy Bruce, bass, acoustic guitar, and vocals; Jeremy Novak, drums, percussion, sticks and stones, steaks and knives. (On '95 material, Jeremy Allen instead of Andy Bruce, on bass as well as trombone.)

Instruments Guitar, bass, drums, piano, organ, vocals, sometimes sax and trombone

Albums Java du Jour

Press Reviews The press hated our guts, maaaan.
