Artist History We were formed in 1999 with Jon, Jason, and Dan. We got Tom Stark to join but he fazed in and out before finally quitting and leaving for Rushin' Attack. Cook joined later and lent his guitar stylings and song writing to the band. Rick later joined after being reunited with his preschool buddy, Jason. He currently is not drumming for us anymore *cries*. We didn't have a bass for a while so we used Tubas... but we have a bass now... and we may use Tubas again some day. We started out with a seventeen dollar mic and a Radioshack tape deck... now we have a Digital Mixer, computer based recording studio with all digital sound and infinite tracks. It's amazing how far we've come already.

Group Members Our lyrics are filled with totally creative hooks by our lyrical wizards. Jon plays trumpet, trombone, harmonica, and bass. Dan Connor plays lead guitar, French horn, and sings. He also does the computer stuff such as recording and creating techno tracks as OnyxRev. Dan Cook plays guitar. Jason plays lead guitar and also does vocals.

Instruments For general band stuff we use: Guitar, Computer, Drums, Trumpet, Tuba, Trombone, French Horn, Harmonica, anything we can get our grubby little hands on. Cook uses a Fender Tele, Jason a Fender Lone Star Strat, Connor a Ibanez JS100 (with FRED and Tone Zone PUs) and a B to B tuned six string Ibanez GAX70 with EMG 81 PUs, Jon a custom homemade Strat Variation (Three humbuckers) and a Fender Precision Bass Deluxe (the Mexi, hahah),
