Frank – words, heartstrings.
John – words, guitar, sweat.
Fleetwood "Smack 'n' Thud" McNamee – drumming, gratuitous Neil Diamond references.
The Stankowicz Experience – trumpet, pierced nipples.
Lackey - bass, jerky connoisseur.

From the Canopy Club website:
"Self-described as 'songs with words, and jumping, and distortion,' Roses and Sake transcends such reductive vagaries. Their high-energy, bombastic rock encapsulates all that is contained in a bottle of cheap bourbon, a proper beard and WWE veteran D-Lo Brown's Lo-Down. They like The Hold Steady and Titus Andronicus and DMX. And Icehouse. And don't we all."
we like to play rock shows in all manner of places, particularly dirty sweaty basements and garages and house parties. if you like to host rock shows, we should talk. if you offer us booze, we will probably be there. if you offer us booze and some dollars, we are already there.
this video is old. someday there will be a newer one.

What's happenin ya'll. If you came to the Quad Cities I'd go and I'm sure other people would as well. This placed is starved for music that isn't Pantera wannabes or aging bluesmen.
Oh man, we'd love to but Kelly is working in the city that weekend. Thanks for the offer dudes. Something is bound to work out though, haha. I'll stay on it!
DUDES! Here's the scoop: the promoter has holds on two other bands for March 20, but if one can't do it, you're a shoe-in. Hell. Yes. I'll let you fellas know real soon.
Nice! We have a show in Dekalb on the 27th and might be playing in Wichita the next night, so late Feb is probably a no-go. Would you be into playing Quencher's in Chicago with us on March 20?
We had a blast with you dudes and your gin bucket the other night. Please keep in touch and come to Chicago to play a show. We should set something up soon!
Damn guys, sorry to have that happen. I had a lot more written about you that got cut I guess. I don't know why, space issues or something. But hey, you are in the buzz twice : )
