Personal Details

Bio Band Members:
Jamie Mahon - Guitar, Vocals
Mike Kiker - Organ, Electric Piano, Organ Bass, Vocals
Jeff Castner - Drums, Percussion

Besides the fact that Jamie, Mike, and Jeff are cousins, what actually brought these guys together was a sudden and strangely coincidental collapse of all 3 members previous musical establishments. And what keeps these guys together is the affinity for sparse arrangements and unpredictable live shows, coupled with scorn and fascination towards their Roman Catholic upbringings and organized religion in general.

A slightly different spin on the "Power Trio" formula. Influenced more by The Doors guitar-organ/keyboard bass-drums sound and less by the standard Cream guitar-bass-drums archetype, the sound of this group could be best summed up as The Doors' "Strange Days" meets Black Flag's "My War". In essence, a cross between the raw power of garage rock and punk, and the strange ethereal qualities of psychedelia. A style dubbed by one fan as "Psychedelic Stomp".
Favorite Music The Doors, The Seeds, The Animals, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Velvet Underground, The Black Keys, pretty much any kind of music that either has soul, is incredibly weird, or kicks ass
Favorite Movies Let The Right One In, 2001: A Space Odyssey
