chad drever
keys & vocals
Chad was an Andrew Lloyd Webber understudy for many years. After eight years of Jesus Christ Superstar and two years of Phantom, he was tired of the life of the understudy and wanted to leave the stage. Now, other then playing with the band, Chad spends most of his time playing Advanced D&D as his character Zoltar, the wizard.

peter mitchell
guitars & vocals
Peter spent many, many years learning guitar from a one-armed man, and many, many more trying to unlearn that terrible noise he thought was music. Peter devotes all of his time to teaching underwater interpretive dance at the YMCA and is a card-carrying member of the 700 Club.
jason larsen
saxophones & vocals
Lars joined the band after six spine-crunching years on the North Dakota Professional Rodeo circuit. After being severely trampled in the coccyx by a bull that was apparently angry at having his balls clamped, Lars retired from the circuit, picked up his horns, and joined the band. He spends his free time testing bull manure for proper nitrogen content.
 
dave myers
bass & vocals
David was a former gyrator for the Chippendales band.  After a big finish completely decimated his left knee, he now just dances in his mind. Dave is a nationally known food critic, known as Dave the Flave, and he volunteers his time by taking calls at the NPSH (National Pet Suicide Hotline).
 
jessie lesmeister
drums & vocals
Jessie is a perpetual scholar. He has devoted the last fifteen years of his life to interpreting ancient Assyrian hieroglyphs and trying to convert them to a modern system of Braille. Jessie divides his free time between teaching drums to deaf children and raising chinchillas to make into jackets.
 
gerald schaefer
percussion & vocals
Jerry adds a little fiesta to the band with his flair for the indigenous rhythms of Central America. He spent his youth as a percussionist and back-up singer for the Mexican boy band Menudo. After a brawl with Ricky Martin for undisclosed reasons, Jerry set out for the Midwest to spread the beat. In his spare time, Jerry enjoys splatter painting
and listening to Tibetan techno music.
