leisl
aetna bonelli
Vocals
Who doesn't like the smell of basil and fresh pasta? Leisl surely knows
her bit and she is the master. Just taste her lasagne whilst listening
to the magical stories she weaves with her melodies and you will be
transformed to places of wonder and beauty. Just mention the word
'Italy' then sit back and prepare yourself for the ride of a lifetime
whilst Leisl takes you on a magical journey filled with the descriptions
of sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of her mis-spent youth.

b.t. bonelli
Vocals, Guitars
B.T. loves the ryhthms of the world and lets his right hand speak for
him... unless, of course, he is singing, then his mouth takes the stage.
This sometimes leads to trouble being as how he really has little
control over this instrument and sometimes, just sometimes, things pop
out of it that lead to frivolity, and then lots of troubled and pained
explanation.

Accordion, Backing Vocals
There is a
horse hair wallet sitting on the sunbleached bench next to a worn out
burro pulling a cart of dusty boxes. Nicholas sits next to the exhausted
animal, watching and waiting, remembering his sordid past as a lonely
pick-pocket in the dangerous back-alley streets of Peoa, Utah. Upon
sentencing, the judge ordered Nicholas, as penance for his crimes, to
spend his lifetime traveling the hot, dusty streets of nowhere USA,
playing the accordion everytime people might gather. Mark my words; you
will be entranced by his magical artistry on the Devil's own instrument.

heather
garden
Vocals, Banjo
Flying through
the air on a silken string, Heather loves to weave a delicate melody
though the dangerous flora of the mountain desert armed only with a
backwater banjo and a sweet sense of being. You will hang on her every
expression as you are wrapped in her web of song.

bryan
bale
Bass, Vocals, Hand Percussion
Bryan mastered
the 9 mantras of early Egyptian percussion lore, learned 32 of the
world's languages fluently, and picked up on the intracies of Newtonian
physics - including mastering the argument of why, while cumbersome,
Newton's calculus was superior to Leibniz's - all by the age of 8 years.
After reaching the 10th level of Buddhist ascendance while meditating
for 3 months in the Bavarian highlands and learning to prepare a mean
quiche, Mr. Bale decided his calling was to sing and play bass. This was
what lent his soul peace.

bob smith
Percussion
Bob spent
somewhere between 40 and 187 days "fasting" and "meditating" with Carlos
Castaneda in Death Valley in the early 1980's. Coming out of the desert
after this intense vision quest, Bob realized that he had actually only
been gone for the afternoon and was really in Zzyzx looking for the
mineral baths. His traveling companion wasn't really Carlos Castaneda,
either, but was, in fact, the notorious Wicca Man who had shown Bob the
mysteries of sound, the mysteries of hitting something metal with
something else metal, and that this sound was good. Bob meditates with
the Orphans Cabaret often, and Wicca Man is always by his side as the
wonder that is percussion explodes around him.
