How did you pick the band name?

Our original singer, Bob Dunn (RIP,) chose the name before our first Reggae Fest back in 1992. He was sort of a svengali, so we had to stick with the name, or he was gonna quit.

How would your define your sound?

A multi-cultural mix of Ska, Reggae, Latin Jazz, and Punk edge that makes girls shake their juicy butts.

Describe your creative process for writing and composing music?

Each band member kinda starts out with a basic idea. Maybe a horn line or bass line, then we add pieces, brick by brick. It really all depends on what comes up first, the lyrics or the melody. We try to stay democratic during the writing process, but you know how that goes..lol..

If you guys were to play with another band, which would it be?

Oingo Boingo.

Where / how often / how do you guys practice?

Nowhere & Never. Onstage. Sad, but true. LOL!!

Finally, why do men have nipples?

So women can pinch them hard and say, "How do you like it, huh? Not so nice, huh?" Ouch...
