Lead singer Joe Stedman: Joe "WTF" Stedman is the end result of clandestine and highly illegal government experiments that were carried out in the mid 1960's. Finding details on Joe's early development is difficult at best but thanks to the 2002 freedom of information act, some facts have recently come to light. Apparently the military had a plan to create the perfect human weapon, but the scientists working on the project ran into some problems.... mainly Marijuana, beer, and Acid. Joe's DNA was set to be infused with DNA extracted from an Alien warrior race, however, being that the lab technician was completely waisted, he forgot which project he was working on. The specimens were "accidentally" switched with those containing the DNA of Gene Simmons (bass player from Kiss) Ted Nugent (guitar legend and wild man) Jim Morrison (singer from the Doors) and Dawn Wells (you know, that chick who played Mariann on Gilligan's Island). No further notes can be located about him until 1980 when Joe escaped from the lab and went forth into the world where he fronted several rock bands with moderate success. Joe's sketchy past aside, he is one of those singers who can sing just about anything. His style is a mix of power and precision combined with soul and projection.
Lead guitarist Mike Duplessis: Mike "Porn Star" Duplessis is a mystery. Rumored to have been born to a pack of wolves somewhere in the foothills of northern Maine, he was found at the tender age of five in a bar holding nothing but a smile, a fully grown pornstache, and a guitar…… where he got the smile from, no one knows. Mike was taken in by the Duplessis family where he learned how to play guitar before he could speak English. Before that time he communicated with a series of grunts and barks, and sometimes still does. His influences are Southern Comfort, Budweiser, and the full moon. From 1983 to 1984 Mike was the stunt double for Ron Jeremy (hence earning his nick name) until he was asked to do a nude scene....... Mike was subsequently fired for undisclosed reasons. Realizing acting wasn't his thing, Mike hitchhiked his way back to Maine where he now resides with his wolf pack. Every note Mike plays on guitar comes from his soul, every song performed comes from his heart, and on stage, every bit of him goes out to his audience.
Bassist Tarn Petty: Tarn started playing rhythm guitar 15 years ago. He’s been involved in bands most of that time playing everything from classic rock to 80’s metal. His influences include Led Zeppelin, Alice In Chains, Guns -N- Roses, The Doors and much more. This is the first time Tarn has played bass in a band and he is “psyched” about the opportunity to expand his musical horizons. Drummer Troy Maddux: We found Troy "Kick ****" Maddux hiding in the crawl space at our rehearsal room. Surviving for months on left over pizza and rain water he'd collected from a makeshift system of tubing and trash bags, Troy spent his time listening to our songs as we practiced them. Unbenounced to us, he had been taking miscellaneous drum parts into the crawl space where he reassembled them into a full kit. We had been wondering where all our equipment was disappearing to. After finding ourselves with out a drummer…. (again) we decided to rehears with a drum machine until we could find a suitable replacement. Overhearing our discussion, Troy came out of the closet,…. I meen crawl space and introduced himself. We've found band mates in stranger ways in the past so we figured,... what the hell, give the guy a shot. All kidding aside, Troy is a dynamic drummer with lots of energy
