The band's moniker sort of fell from the sky one day, as it were, and its meaning hasn't ever been fully analyzed, much less definitively explained. After all, it's a band name.

Jonathan Hochberg, on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, and Mike Gillow, on vocals and drums, have been making music together for twelve years.

In 1998 we were joined by dynamic Dave Bulatek (co-owner of McNeil Music of Ithaca), who started on percussion and vocals, switched to keyboards, and currently plays bass.

In 2003 Dave's terrific wife Teresa (the other co-owner of McNeil Music of Ithaca) joined us on keyboards, percussion and vocals.

2004 brought us the utterly amazing Gordon Holloway on lead guitar.

We have always been about having a sound that lets us run the gamut from top 40s, classic rock and r&b of the 60's and 70's all the way to contemporary alternative. As a group, we have wildly diversified tastes, so we cover lots and lots of different stuff, which helps us when it comes to tailoring our music to the moment. We also do original music, and are in the process of recording our first album.
