Who we are:
Formerly known as 'The Checkered Demons'.
Iowa born David Lewiston began life as a hardworking farmboy, but after taking up guitar as a teenager soon slipped into a life of sloth and debauchery. He fled the Midwest in haste and has been hiding out in Eureka since 1982.
After a misguided youth spent terrorizing the Bay Area, drummer Greg Allen saddled up his Harley and headed north to pursue his dream of becoming a Mountain Man. He settled in Orick and has declared himself Emperor of all he surveys.
Marin County resident Jim Wellington saddled up his saxophone and rode it north to study engineering at HSU. This proved to be valuable training for his current occupation as a chef.
Humboldt native Jeff Delong picked up the harmonica after seeing Paul Butterfield at the Monterey Pop Festival. This began his long, slow descent into that particular corner of Hell reserved for blues harp players.
Our newest member,ace bassist Steve Phyne, is another refugee from So Cal who came to the Northcoast seeking fame and fortune - so far he's 0 for 2.
Some of the songs feature former bass player Dick Van Hoose.
