The name is paying homage to all the founders of blues and rock'n'roll. All the greats that remain nameless that have been so influential in classic and newer music.

Yes. In and around Seattle mainly. We're hoping to branch out into the whole west coast soon. Playing live is why we play music at all. We're somewhat of a jam band that really likes to experiment and be open to improvisation and inspiration on stage and off. We've realized that all of our favorite bands were/are great live bands that weren't afraid to suck.That ballsy attitude opens up the flood gates of inspiration and makes you better. Every gig I've played with this band (good or bad) has been taken extremely well. The response we've been getting has been amazing. Having played in bands around here for over six years now, it is surprising and very nice to see that this band is able to earn the respect and fondness of the whole community.

We'll essentially be retired, won't we? We do music for fun and when we do retire that's all we'll do. Therefore, if we play music for a living, we'll be retired. Cool, huh?

Yes. But only if it were on our terms. There's too many ways to do it yourself these days and the only reason to have a big record contract would be for the up-front money to help us promote ourselves and get out to more people.

The band started as a three piece garage band back in '97. After a year and a half of house party gigs and small club shows, Justin met Dace and invited him to jam with the band. Before we knew it we were being invited to play bars and clubs and festivals all over the place. The whole thing took off before we were ready for it. We subsequently took some time off to record the demo that everyone was asking for. Justin spent some time in South America and when he returned we got the ball rolling again. With only a few shows played so far this year we already feel like things are going almost too fast for us to keep up. If there is one thing I learned from that time off, though, it's that if the ball starts rolling faster than you think you can handle, run faster!!!!

Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Van Halen,CSN&Y, Pearl Jam, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix,John Cougar Mellencamp,Metallica, The Allman Bros. Band, and just about every other classic rock band whether they're new or old.

Collectively as a band- on stage. For me (Dace) -anywhere my wife Terra is.

Dace plays his Parson's/Kasha Dace Anderson Signature Model acoustic, Les Paul Classic Premium Plus, and G&L S-500 all through Mesa/Boogie amps. Justin plays with "a $100 guitar, $100 amp and a million dollars worth of soul!" And a Martin D-28. Josh plays Fender basses and Ampeg amps. Jeremy plays drums and hopes to one day own a puppy.

We'd like to thank everyone who has come out to support us. Especially Shawna. Like I said earlier, the response has been overwhelming. We hope to see you all soon!!
