Artist History We've been playing together since '92/'93, and finally decided to share our music with the world. It really started in late-1998, when JD and Bobby were hanging out, and JD suggested that they try to put some music with lyrics he'd been woking on since 1992. Since then, JD and Bobby have been writing and re-writing,and playing at local open mike's. In early 2000, the band added Dave's guitar expertise. Then added Tim's percussion. Only one week before the band recorded its first demo, it added Liz, the "Back-up-babe," because Bobby and JD couldn't help but hear a female part in their music. That's how most of our work is done. It's a collaboration and very organic.
