Nothing like that.
Anything else you want to add?
Two of the band members (Chief and Birdman) also have side projects that they are currently involved with. Chief is a singer/songwriter from Cleveland who moved to California six months ago in an attempt to expand his solo career. Many of his songs explore the current state of our world as well as the many personal trials and tribulations of his life. Chief is currently working on a CD project that should be out in the fall 2006.
Birdman has an alter-ego personality known as AFRO-YT. AFRO-YT is a rap artist who enjoys making people laugh with his sarcastic wit and intrinsic ability to rhyme. He currently has released two CD singles entitled; un-FRO-gettable and A Goofus One.
The Siskiyou County Homewreckers live a remote mountain community along side the Salmon River. No one in this community is on the grid. We rely totally on alternative sources of energy (solar/water). We practice in a poleshed on the second tier that is only accessible by a 20 foot ladder relying on a small propane heater for warmth. Our shows are high-energy, with music geared towards those who like to dance and have a good time.
