about
From the band's MySpace account... Borne out of boredom and idle hands, three friends, with a combined musical pedigree that's longer than a babys' arm, had nothing better to do. Joe Puggle, founder and namesake of long running NJ tuneful thrashers, Puggle (along with a brief but tumultuous bid with the infamous Inger Lorre,) provided the initial impetus to get up off the floor and put one foot in front of the other. His distinctive, memorable songwriting and gritty vocals along with the ever-present Gibson provided a solid foundation. Josh Silverman, best known as singer/writer/green guitarist of Shirk Circus (Bar/None Records), although he, too, served time with the aforementioned Ms. Lorre, brought in some new original songs along with the ever-present green Gibson. His voice, often compared to Elvis Costello, and songwriting proved to be the perfect yin to Puggle's yang. With songwriting and guitar playing taken care of, the next step was to find a rhythm section that would do justice to the strong set of songs. The first and only drummer considered was John Steele, who was still involved in well-known garage favorites High School Sweethearts as a guitarist. John and Josh had previously played together in Johnny & the Has-Beens in the late 90s, releasing a well-received album, "Deadpool", featuring their late friend Anthony Trance on vocals and John Andersen (of Earth Pig) on bass. Now the only piece missing from this 3 way mutual admiration society was a bass player.
