No, we don't. (I'm the drummer; Alistair's one of two guitarists.) We
perform (so far) originals only, in what has been described as the vein of
Crowded House, Midnight Oil, Squeeze, Elvis Costello, the Odds, etc.

Since this is an ad, I'll toot our own horn a bit: We've won two rounds of
the Vancouver Jake O'Grady's songwriting contest, including studio time and
$500 cash, competing with 5 to 7 other bands each time, and came out the
overall winners in the Doll & Penny's Live Jive 20-band competition a few
months ago.

Our ad in the Georgia Straight a few weeks ago asked for a bass player who:

"Slaps like Bootsy, sings like Paul, writes like John, and shakes like
Elvis."

But if you can play, can write and sing (backup or lead), have gear, live
around Vancouver, and would be willing to commit to this full-time if it
works out, mail Al (elloco@tz.ucs.sfu.ca) or me (dkmiller@unixg.ubc.ca).
