Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The band was officially formed and started playing out in the beginning of 2001, but John and Craig had been playing together since 1995. We just slowly put all the pieces together and here we are.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play out live in the Triad area of North Carolina frequenting several different venues. We LOVE playing out - especially for the wild crowds!
