Harrison Cofer is a lion in human skin. With an electric guitar and a microphone in hand, he's bound to hack up a hair ball or two.
Matt Rose is half man half dachshund. Be careful cuz once he gets the rhythm going, there's no stopping him.
Sam Wetterau is a cool drink on a hot day. They call him the doctor of delight and he'll prescribe Fernet for just about anything.
Kit Whitacre is like a block of lemon jello. A little sweet, a little sour, he'll jiggle and slide right off your plate.
2 guitars, bass and drums with 4 microphones
