Member Since11/28/2005
Band Websitemyspace.com/ladygeniusmusic
Band MembersJason Byers, Sabrina Duim, Kyle Williams
InfluencesThere is a harp, guitar, and drums in this band. Jason's two dogs, Buster and Josie are big influences on the music. Also Fiery Furnaces and The Walkmen
Sounds LikeA schizophrenic told kyle he sounded like a David Byrne rip off, and everyone in the world asks Sabrina if she knows who Joanna Newsom is... and Jason is worse than Duff McKeagan on drums. But, if David Byrne, Corky Hale and Duff McKeagan formed a band they would be called Volunteer Pioneer.

Hey, I’ve got a question for you… We are in the process of putting together our employee benefit package and striving to have the best benefit package in the circus industry. If you could pick one benefit (other than insurance and paid vacations - that’s a given) what would you want? We value our extended family/employees and want them to be happy. Thanks for your input.
