    Artist description
    Bone screams and hollers, Jackson rolls around on the ground, and H. Mark whups the skins like a crazed jungle man. And that's just between sets.
    Music Style
    Loud-guitar-type drum music in the rock and roll style. (With bass.)
    Musical Influences
    What made us want to be in a band when we were kids? The Monkees, Help!, The Evolution Revolution (from Lance Link, Secret Chimp) and when are we gonna get to travel around in the van and solve mysteries? Right now Mark is listening to Hip-hop, Jackson likes Vince Guaraldi and Bone is diggin BR5-49. This isn't helping you at all, is it? We like it loud.

    Artist History
    Mark tried to convince us in the 80s that Seattle was going to be a happening place, and that we should move there to start our band. Well we didn't. We played in different wavy-punky original-music bands, then made some bucks together playing covers for college kids. We got tired of selling our souls to the local promoter and decided to play what we wanted to hear. Our long tenure in the Norman area, and involvement with Amnesty International (Our song Hey Hey was included on their Blood Beat CD) led us to work with and beside many name-dropable locals as Todd Walker, Thomas Anderson, The Mimsies, The Nixons, Wakeland, The Flaming Lips, Klipspringer, The Reverb Bros and Scotty Keaton the Deviant.

    Press Reviews
    - Ong is a fascinating rhythm salad. Original and familiar - a deja vu experience. I know it somewhere in my soul - but it's new to me, too. Leigh Jones, The Journal Record- Sincerely excellent roots rock from the state of rockin Wanda Jackson and rockabillian Eddie Cochran. Jim Strouf, Music Mutiny Snarls Again
