Artist History Formed in April 1999. Their first album, "Quinella" was released September '99. All 1000 copies found loving homes. The single, "Interferon" has garnered extensive college radio airplay. Opened for Stroke 9 on three stops of the Mentos Campus Invasion 2000 tour. Racked up an impressive $3300 in speeding tickets, vehicle repairs, and insurance claims. Recorded our follow-up album, "The Made and the Miserable" June 2000 at Smart Studios (Garbage, U2, Nirvana) Madison, WI. August 2000, added bassist Andy Daley to the lineup, replacing keyboard/guitarist Laurel Christle.

Group Members Erin Peters - guitar, vocals. Her vocal talents have some comparing her to Chrissy Hynde while her songwriting suggests the sweet and sour gems of Belly and Juliana Hatfield. She's got two albums under her belt, what were you doing when you were 21? Jeremy Heroldt-guitar,keys,vox. As the band jack-of-all trades, Jer alternately seems cut from the same cloth as Frank Black and Joey from "Friends". His worldview is unique and permeates songs such as the stinging "Suffocate" and the comical "Photo Finish". Craig Swafford - drums. Every band has its resident Nazi, and Craig is his (he'd prefer "benevolent dictator"). Andy Daley-bass. Like fellow Dayton,Ohio natives GBV, Andy shares many of the twisted pop sensibilities that make Ohio such a fertile breeding ground for rock. Couple this with an appreciation for fine domestic beer and vintage French automobiles and you'll see he's quite the catch.
