...gotta play

Two words: Right Guard

Brian Connors aka "Kid Blanco" : Founder of the band, Guitars, vocals. Due to an unfortunate "Rocky Horror" event in San Jose, the women at Silver Creek still talk about how his legs are better, and frankly he seems to like that. We don't want to know any more. But the rumor is that he has more guitars than brains.


Nice try, but Gene Simmons still wins
James Roberts aka "Mini Fridge" : Co-founder of the band, Bass guitar, vocals. Frequently seen at the VooDoo lounge as late as 6:30pm . Then gone. Often says "time is fleeting" for some reason.
If she was the president of the U.S., she'd be Babe-raham Lincoln
Sara Schmitt aka "the Chick": Chick Vocals, Van Halen Vocals, and all the vocals the old fat guys can't do anymore. Also generally babe-a-licious and in the top decile of hot soccer moms. We think she and the keyboard guy are an item.

Free Range
Ralph Schmitt aka "Free Range" : Keyboards. Got lucky in love. Seems like a nice guy. Wears Ducati, BMW, Porsche Design, and other fine fragrances. Generally seen in public with three beautiful women.  Known for hedonism, vandalism, masochism, and voyeurism. 
Bruce before the advent of color photography
Bruce Campbell, aka "Bam-Bam": Drums. plays Rock, blues, jazz, show tunes, Big Band, coaches softball, teaches drumming, all with his right hand while curing world hunger with his left. In his spare time, he breathes.

Kevin Constantine aka "TBD". Guitars. This boy is in search of a nickname and it won't be long. He is a tone 'Ho. Guitar tone, amp tone, pedal tone, pick tone, a regular tone-a-pottamus. The band has high expectations. And like the emperor Constantine The Great before him, it's in the genes...

Guitar Father, who's art's in heaven, help me with the slide tune tonight...
Band Wench: Keyboard guy's turn
"Band Wench" aka Cheryl Connors : She has no pride, which makes her a lot of fun. Always the Hostess with the Mostest, providing all the pupu's and bevvies for band functions. Puts up with a lot of crap at her house in support of the band. Has some sort of attachment to Band Dog that borders on unhealthy.
Thankya very much....
"Band dog" aka Sunshine Eleanor Rigby : Band mascot. Responsibilities include cameraderie, farting, panting, barking, barfing, lapping up spillage and dropsies, sleeping under barstools and the like. You know. Dog stuff.
