After several years of being held hostage by Jen's family of circus freaks....Shawn Packer, Greg Croak, Tomik and John Cummings were allowed out of captivity to play this enchanting strange and captivating type of "the rock n roll" that had been previously an ancient family secret in the carni world...
Thus we re-located to San Jose and often play at the local venues (especially the darker ones...because we are no-longer accustomed to light). We draw our inspiration from the macabre world of a poetic drunk....
