2 guys...friends since 1979.
Making music since then....
This was a project from 1990 - 1993.
We wrote & recorded MANY songs...
(On a Tascam Portastudio...4 track!)
The playing was usually:
Von - guitars, bass, percussion, vocals.
Steven - keys, drums, percussion, vocals.
We both wrote our own songs...
On the collaborations, the breakdown
was usually:
Steve - lyrics
Von - music....with a few exceptions.
Thought it was time to dig it up....

Why this name?
That's a good question.
Do you play live?
One gig...
It was a disaster.
A Christmas party....
We were victims of bad booking.
Yeah.....that's the ticket!
