Why this name?

We were thinking about how we didn't want to be band bouncers(multiple bands at one time) and I held up a finger saying one band only...One Finger Up

Do you play live?

All over Kentucky, Southern Indiana we play live or dead. Memorable moments? The last night of our Milligan's Lounge show...also our first night! Who knew that our drummer had to be 21 to get in?!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Ripping is stealing, unless the band wants to spread their music for free. Bands choice ala Grateful Dead bootlegs. Rip our music and spread it!

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Yes, because we are idiots hoping to live making music

Band History:

Got together in 2002, went through two drummers (kept second one, first was a good drummer but had an interactive family) three bass players (couldn't get rid of last one) Jammed hard, long and loud and still playing.
