Artist History Mike and Christina have been performing together since they were young, starting with lots of cheesy showtunes. Eventually, they became a praise and worship team known as "Sonfire." They toured the area for about two years doing this until, in 1998, they changed their name to Aggressive Little Juice Machine and starting writing original music. They released a CD that year called Ten Assorted Flavors, and they toured extensively to promote the album. The song "Different Again" reached #32 on the Power Source Contemporary/Inspirational chart. This chart is determined by the frequency of radio air play on a national level. Also, their song "Believe" was chosen to appear on the Soda Compilation CD for Release and 7Ball Magazine's November/December issues. 20,000 copies were printed. They were recently featured in 7Ball Magazine's Top 25 Unsigned Christian Bands List.

Group Members Christina Schmid - Vocals, aux percussion. Mike Schmid - Vocals, samples, programming, keyboards, etc.

Instruments Piano, samplers, synths, a groovebox, and almost no guitar.
