Comedy

We are the band that puts high school bands to shame. We have bumped ourselves into a class of musicianship that makes it hard to find worthwhile members. We have an odd sense of humor. We have very little money. And our mascot is a blind dog. --JV.
Band/artist history
Formed in April 2004 as an acoustic duo, multi-instrumentalists Joe Verble and Robert Biedron were dismissed in a bizarre fashion from a lackluster rock group, leading them to form a studio-only group, later followed by a third member David "The Intern" Newton to play bass and begin it's live dates.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
We have played live. I personally enjoy live, because I can be so much louder, and entertain a crowd which happens to be my purpose in life. --JV
Your musical influences
King Crimson, Yes, Soft Machine, Queen, Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull, Miles Davis, Mahavishu Orchestra, Brian Eno, Roxy Music
Anything else?
Hi Mom! --JV.
