About the band


Timmy G! – vocals, harmonica, auxiliary percussion

Timmy G! has been performing on stages in front of people since he was ten years old – as an actor, storyteller, musician, magician, charlatan, shaman, shape-shifter, witch-doctor and occasional confidence man. He is of indeterminate age and is currently at large.

Joe Griffin – guitar

Joe has played in cover and original bands since junior high school, and spent much of the late 1980s and early 1990s on Michigan’s bar and fraternity-party circuits as lead guitarist and vocalist for the Others. In the mid-1990s he performed with the Chicago cover band Mr. Peabody. He has honed his stagecraft playing to every type of crowd, from intimate coffeehouse sets to the thousands of attendees of the 2005 and 2006 Chicago Auto Shows. He also performs with the Chicago cover band Figurehead. Visit Joe’s solo site here.

John Toljanic – bass

I’ve been playing the bass for thirty years. Trust me.
In that time I’ve changed bands more often than I’ve changed the strings on any of my Fender basses.

John also plays in The Push Puppets and Figurehead.

Mark Felcansmith – drums

Mark started his first band in grade 8. He continued playing through high school, covering some of the great tunes of the early 80′s as well as writing originals. It was during high school as part of the drumline that he developed his core chops and proficiency as a drummer. He spent his college years playing in the drumline and percussion ensembles, including a steel drum band, Latin percussion ensemble, marimba quartet, and playing in the pit for theater plays, and an opera. In the early 90′s Mark was consistently playing in multiple bands, writing and performing original music. Often his time was split between playing percussion in an eclectic group of strings, woodwinds, piano, and guitars, and his alternative jazz-rock outfits. All the bands played around Chicago throughout the early to mid 90′s. Bands included Tangled Up!, Fuzz Chumps, Three Years Ghost, Elysium, and Early.
