Don Chase - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals.
After being told that his singing voice could drive people to drink Don decided he might be on to something and joined Down 24. To the dismay of “real” musicians Don has been hanging around the Clinton/Quad Cities rock scene since the late 80’s (with bands such as Red Rum, The Groovy Love Dogs, and Retrospect) and has acquired a huge following in Belgium. Whatever you do don’t give this guy Jack Daniels. Especially since last time he ran around the bar in his underwear…
Brian Dalton-- Lead Bass guitar, killer kazoo & bad ass vocals.
Brian started playing in bands in High School. Starting with The Homewreckers (which never played in a bar) that became The Dirty Little Bar Band (which never played in a bar-1st band with Matt), which became the all original band Brainstraw (that did play in a bar, once). Then he took a little break (was constently in a bar) and joined back up with Matt to play in Knee Deep (which never played in a bar) After that band broke up Jon's constant nagging, joined which would become Down 24 (that plays in A LOT of bars) and has never been happier. And we had Matt, lost Matt, and added another John. Damn, we've had 3 Jo(h)n's in this band. Holy shit. Oh, by him a beer, Miller Lite. I just kicked your ass, you're welcome. ADD ME!!!

Jon Stoddard-- Bad ass Drums & spectacular vocals.
Jon’s musical background started at a very early age. Being surrounded by musicians in his family, Jon followed suit and learned piano. Growing up as a teen in the 80's, he was flooded with MTV (back when it was cool and actually played MUSIC) and gave up playing classical to take up rock. After being told "Get some equipment, and you can be in our band", Jon immediately went to the local music store. He has then gone on to play drums or bass guitar for Death Watch, Midwest Comfort, Damp Satin, Anvil Korus, and many other almost bands. He also has stood in many a time as a "gun for hire" filling in when a fellow band needed a last minute stand in. Jon also has much experience in the minor pro music scene working many different aspects through the former club, The Pig Pen. He now takes all these assets and utilizes them to the fullest to making a night with Down 24 "The Ultimate Party Experience”
John Clark - Lead Guitar, Backround Vocals.
He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack, sits beneath a tree by the railroad tracks. People would come from miles around, to see John E. Clark lay guitar down!!! John has played in lots of different bands around the Clinton, Quad City area for 29 years. Some bands include Southbound, Child's Play, Tangent, Crazy Ace, Black Pain Rising, and Amazon Blonde. He's very versatile, and can pick up any axe to shread your face with!!! He absolutely loves Marshall Amps!!! He's older than dirt, and twice as stinky!!! When he was born, his momma laid him in a guitar case for a crib! The rest.........is history!!! Oh! And he was voted number one on the Honey Planet!!!
Influences
Jack Daniels, Miller Lite, Yukon & a whole bunch of good bands! Reel Big Fish, Guns N' Roses, Van Halen, Fall Out Boy, The Starting Line, Kiss, Soundgarden, Jimi Hendrix.
