Band members include guitarist Pauli (formally w/ Chelsea in White Trash Debutants), bassist Carmela (Slapmatics) and Ian (The Nerv) on drums.

Last but not least, ending the show will be the incredible, exciting, kick ass crowd pleaser, SNATCHER, featuring the remarkable Kristi Kremes on vocals and guitar with talented bassist Jenni Coppertone and skilled drummer Pally Ramirez.
