Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Most gigs are in the Northeast U.S. region. Interesting as well. Special moments? Our very first show at a performing arts space, where everyone was piss drunk (open bar, what do you expect) and heckling the audience.
Your musical influences
Crashing guitars are good. If you like Siouxsie Sioux from her "Bromley Contingent" days, Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, The Pretenders, Elastica (oh, Justine, where are you?), the broodiness of the Throwing Muses, At the Drive In, songs with guitar solos, Hole.
