stuff about the band members
)
Angelo
Born and raised in Victoria, my musical interest in the guitar began at the age of 7. By 13, I started writing and composing original material which helped mold my music today. Personal and political issues, as well as good times, are the backbone of my written works. As lead vocalist, rhythm and lead guitar, my efforts are to showcase and "bring back" the technical musicianship of the 6 string.

Scotty
Born in Victoria, Scotty started playing guitar while living in Prince George at the age of 14. He previously played for bands such as Ceremony and Space Ghost. As a lead guitar player Scott's main influences are Britney Spears, Anne Murray, Wilson Phillips and your dog/cat/pet ninja. Scotty intends to "make eye balls bleed" with his "face melting solos" that will "rip your face off like a 7 sworded samuri with really big balls" and make "17 year old girls soil their pants with sweat" while making 70 year old men "soil their pants".

Kevin
Kevin was born and raised in Victoria B.C. and has been there all his life, sigh..?!#@. He started playing bass at the age of 18 and continues his study of the 5 string. He has played in various Victoria bands like Forever After and Star 69. He is currently working on lyrics for the bands music and likes his position of helping to structure the bands music and adding backup vocals. Imagine that, a bass player that can sing and play, what an asset!! Kevin enjoys listening to 80’s hair band rock and metal, like your typical Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Queensryche, and we can’t forget Dio. Remember the classic saying ,"Metal rules"!, or even better ,"Posers suck"! You get an idea of how old this guy is, right? His hobbies are helping his friends which include his mom and family and working on cars and his high powered model rocketry (see West Coast Hybrids). He has deep concerns about our government activities and accountability and has voiced his opinion in the Law many times to our highest government officials about taxation issues. His pet peeves are government officials that don’t reply to simple questions, third party intervention of private contracts, and a sweaty, ichy ass. Does this all sound annoying to you? Anyway, we’ll try not to get too technical, but if any of this lawful talk ends up in the lyrics of this bands music we will know who wrote it. Kev says peace to all on earth and get Stiff. Stiff proposition that is.

Stephen
Born in Victoria, Stephen started playing congas at the age of 9 and finally got a drum set at the age of 12. He is influenced by everything from Chicago and The Police to Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, 311 and RHCP and of course the almighty Neil Peart of Rush. More recently Stephen has been listening to Ace of Base, Justin Timberlake, 98 Degrees and of course Kriss Kross's seminal album "da bomb" (aka the second one, their song "alright" has the same backbeat as 98 degree's "fly with me", hence they are both awesome). Steve intends to "bring back da funk" into rock. For real. That's what I said. Most embarassing momment: saying "for real?" to a member of "The Pharcyde", ouch.
