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.

Hello, there.
We'd like to invite you to a special 2 night event at 5 Points Pub on July 11 and 12. It'll be Josh Roberts and the Hinges, Scott Baston and the News Architects, and Woodwork Roadshow both nights. One night tickets are $10, shows start at 9, but if you buy a ticket for both nights for $15 you get a free booze and food party at 8 each night. Good deal, eh? We're excited and we hope to see you there.
