Right now, Bentz on vocals and rhythm guitar, May on vocals, Chris Lawther on lead guitar, Josh McGill on rhythm and lead guitar and harmonicas, Justin Marshall or Paul Russo on bass. As for drummers, it is usually either Matt Fenech or Chris Jones.

We just recorded a 11 track cd with Dave Michelson producing. It will be released at a party at the Art Bar on 9/20/08. Hope you can make it to the show.

Paul Russo plays with Rusty Davis. Chris Lawther plays with Bill Wells and Loch Ness Johnny. Josh McGill and Justin Marshall play with The Dirty Lowdown. Chris Jones plays with Analog Moon and Stillhouse. Matt Fenech plays with The Brisbones and Papa String Band. Bentz and May are also in Jellyroll and Delicious Dish.
