Louisville's premier ska-punk band of the mid to late 1990s. The band was formed while Carlos and Pat were in high school, with more of a fast, raw punk rock sound. Playing frequently with [[|Trane|TrAne]], the band acquired Brooke on trumpet to more of round out their Less Than Jake-influenced style. When Brooke left, Dennis stepped in and filled the spot with his mighty trumpeting lungs and casual, low key demeanor, which helped offset recent sax acquisition Will's crazy ladiesman "wolfman" persona. The band took somewhat of a break around 1998 to write new songs and came out much tighter and a bit more together. By 1999, they were a powerhouse, filling up Pandamonium (and in one case, much of Baxter Ave. at an event sponsored by the neighborhood association), and having large parties afterwards.
 
Around 2000, the band got a little itchy and added several new horn players, but the addition didn't last for long as bonds between the band and the new guys never really solidified in the same way. After many successful years, Carlos left to live out of town and Dennis was increasingly involved with a blue goat. The Members went on to form [[Blue Goat War]], [[Tastyface]], [[Follow the Train]] and others. The 6 listed in the members section are all great people that you should definitely say hi to if you have the chance.

Louisville's premier ska-punk band of the mid to late 1990s. The band was formed while Carlos and Pat were in high school, with more of a fast, raw punk rock sound. Playing frequently with [[|Trane|TrAne]], the band acquired Brooke on trumpet to more of round out their Less Than Jake-influenced style. When Brooke left, Dennis stepped in and filled the spot with his mighty trumpeting lungs and casual, low key demeanor, which helped offset recent sax acquisition Will's crazy ladiesman "wolfman" persona. The band took somewhat of a break around 1998 to write new songs and came out much tighter and a bit more together. By 1999, they were a powerhouse, filling up Pandamonium (and in one case, much of Baxter Ave. at an event sponsored by the neighborhood association), and having large parties afterwards.

Around 2000, the band got a little itchy and added several new horn players, but the addition didn't last for long as bonds between the band and the new guys never really solidified in the same way. After many successful years, Carlos left to live out of town and Dennis was increasingly involved with a blue goat. The Members went on to form Blue Goat War, Tastyface, Follow the Train and others.
