Never one to rush things (and consequently avoid delivering a quality product), Frank Gondo took 35 years to actually grow the balls to write a few songs, record them, and publish them. He released a self-produced, self-recorded album "At The Twilight's Last Gleaming."



Frank soon realized that playing with yourself isn't quite as gratifying as playing with others. So he recruited Blaine Sinderson and Joe Vierthaler to join him. The trio is now playing live gigs and preparing to record new material.



Live, the band is a jam band with very very sharp, pointy teeth. Songs are extended, with a focus on developing grooves, pushing the envelope, and creating an experience that has to be experienced to be believed. They alternate between hard and loud songs, bordering on the best of hard classic rock, to more quiet, reflective, bluesy moments, blended with politically and socially aware lyrics challenging the status quo.

Why this name?
Frank's college football nickname
Do you play live?
We'll play wherever they'll have us. We love it. It's always special when you see an audience member "get" what you're saying.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It takes the power of promotion away from the major labels and puts it back in the hands of musicians. Of course, it spreads that wealth very thinly, don't it?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course...money is nice. As long as I retain the rights to my songs.
Your influences?
Bruce Springsteen, Barenaked Ladies, Dave Matthews, Rush, AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mellencamp, Zep, Clapton, Pink Floyd, Genesis
Favorite spot?
Earth.
Equipment used:
Whatever we happen to have lying around.
Anything else...?
No. Nothing further. Go away now. We're tired.
