Artist History Formed in October of 1999, Short Arm Trick began as a 3 piece with frontman/guitarist Simon Zipp and bassist The Motch starting "this little hell". In January of 2000 they got serious due to a huge fan response and started playing Chicago venues winning over the hearts of many more. In November of 2000 they made a line up change and acquired veteran punk drummer Mike Milligan (NoXcuse, 3 Prong Outlet). Mike moved from Baltimore to Chicago to solidify the rythm section. In September of 2002 they made what seems to be their final lineup change by acquiring the insane sytlings of madman/lead guitarist Trey Peak. The band is currently touring for their most recent release - EP "Fast Cars and Rockstars."
