Rick "Hunky" Reed (lead vocals/lead guitar) has been writing songs and playing in bands for over 15 years. In the early to mid-nineties that time was spent leading the band Undercurrent which recorded and released its self-titled local debut in 1994. He has written and recorded two more CDs 421 (1999) and Return Of The Funky Rat Mole (2004) both of which are available via his website www.rickreed.net. Rick enjoys long walks, existential conversations, listening to Zappa/Mothers - Roxy and Elsewhere, candlelight dinners.

Tom Jansing (drums) is a veteran of the Cincinnati music scene and is known for his steady beat and creative fills. He's not a wuss when it comes to playing - "pummeling" has been used to describe his style on the kit. Also a veteran of the Ohio State penal system, Tom has received his fair share of "pummeling" as well. Thankfully, Tom's most recent parole officer likes the music.

John Stickney (guitar/vocals) has been playing in bands for over 15 years, starting with the quintessential high school garage band in his teens. John was heavily influenced in those years by AC/DC, which was handy since he only knew 3 chords. After going to college (where he mostly learned new chords), his musical repertoire expanded and in his last band performed music heavily influenced by acoustic/rock groups such as Barenaked Ladies, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, and Freddy Jones Band. After moving to Cincinnati in 2000, John took a 5 year hiatus from music to get his career in order and start a family. Now that those things are done, he’s ready to quit his day job, leave his family, and rock out.

John Hoerr (bass) Whether strumming an acoustic guitar and crooning at a coffeehouse, getting "jiggy" (in the Irish sense) on mandolin, or funking out on bass, John has been an active performer for about sixteen years. John has a degree in music from Bowling Green State University, where he spent his days as a mild-mannered student of classical music theory, and his nights as a student of ROCK (though still a mild-mannered one, to be perfectly honest).
