Jamie Stonge: Drums, Keyboards & Lead Vocals
Robert "Gecko" Frank: Guitars & Backing Vocals
We are a straight up classic garage band. All our recordings are on boom boxes and any other things that may record. We also have recorded in various odd locations. We have always had fun recording and playing songs in front of friends.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We met in 1994 at the Mortal Kombat II arcade machine. I asked Jamie what his name was & I told him mine. Next thing you know, he ended up at my apartment and we started to record a few songs Jamie had writen before he had met me. After a few days (4 to be exact) we had 1 sixty min. tape of music done. We relized we had done our 1st demo and we still had more stuff to record & write. This went on till 2001. Making music and having fun and recording.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We played live for our friends, we've even recorded for some of our friends. It was never about getting popular or even doing anything serious...we were just having fun and documenting our fun in the tapes we recorded. So Yeah, We loved playing!
