Nate Pike has been playing music for ten years now. Sounds like a long time, but rest assured, it feels a lot longer. Shorter in ways, but ten sounds like such a small number and that might go unnoticed so a point must be made.

Some people might ask why it is that after ten years of anonymity on might keep banging their head against a wall, but questions like that are best left for people who need to have a rational reason for doing things. Nate has never been much at the rational.

While Nate has been playing for "real" for thirteen years, he has (as all musicians claim to) had an interest in music since anyone could remember. Even Napoleon. It goes that far back.

Nate first cut his teeth on the live rawk stage with the band "For Petes Sake" after being discovered singing along to the songs of Live and Pearl Jam in a van.

That is not a joke, it is the honest truth.

From there, after discovering that when the lead guitar player is dating the bass player you have no real say in the goings on of a band, Nate decided to go his own way and form a band of his own. Several incarnations later and Nate decided the best route was to put his own name on something if he was going to pretend it was worth it�s salt and that brings us to today.

More or less.

Nate takes a relatively active interest and role in current events and he believes that the current president of the United States is in fact a demon set loose upon the earth.

Once Nate had a US airlines stewardess tell him to cover up his "Canada Kicks Ass" T-Shirt as it was to politically forward.

There is of course more to Nate than that. Three full length CD�s and no sign of quitting should speak that for itself. But as we said, this should sound like a promoional bio, so there�s that bit dealt with.

Really.

It�s more than we wanted.

Mike Hinge

If ever the there was an exercise in Zen drumming and personality it would be Mike. Mike brings a balance to the band and is undoubtedly the core of its stability in more ways than simply musical.

Mike is a combination of steadfast and reckless while all the while remaining completely solid. His rhythm skills are capable of playing in a completely appropriate manner and yet can veer off into directions that challenge the entire band. Never missing what the music is capable of conveying, Mike brings an adventurous spirit to the band that challenges all of it�s members all the while keeping them all grounded.

And he likes bikes.

If you would like to know more about Mike, you should e-mail him and ask him yourself.

Dave King

Dave is best described as the coked out ferret of the bunch. With an attention span that barely measures in seconds, Dave brings a frantic energy to the band that goes unmatched by any of its other members.

Dan Matsuda

Dan is the newest member of the band. He brings his own unique musical perspective with inspired guitar leads. 'nuff said.
