Members are: Sandy Nelson (lead drums...some screams and random noises) Eddie Angel (lead guitar) Billy Favata (Stand up Bass) Remi Gits (Rhythm/lead guitar)
The short Story:
Members of Torturing Elvis (Remi Gits and Billy Favata) randomly hooked up with Sandy on a leg of a tour out West.
They made plans to come back and record some music with Sandy which they did 2 years later.
From playing in the Rockabilly scene in Torturing Elvis, Remi and Billy were acquaintances of Eddie Angel (guitar player currently for Los Straitjackets and The Neanderthals). When Eddie found out about the project, he was interested in playing on it too...which he was finally able to do in late '06.
After a few of the usual delays (which could be expected with any project that has members spread out across the country in different bands) they were able to get the thing finished and put out there into the unknown limits of the world wide web!
Hopefully enough people like what they hear and The Sin City Termites can put together another record.....next time though....it'll happen alot faster.

Birth of the Beat was a big influence when I started playing in the early 60's,and I am still influenced with Sandy's playing today. It is great that he is still playing and recording new material with other talented musicians. Love the new tracks!
