Members are now: Nick Ott (drums, piano, organ), Alli Pheteplace (drums, guitar, organ), and Panther MacDonald (bass guitar). Ofiicially forming in 2000, the dark humored, old-fashioned, and well-tailored quartet,"makes a dark and sweetly discordant murder ballad inspired racket that's perfect for conjuring the limbo-treading spirits of the cheats, crazies, drunks and other societal castaways the band likes to sing about in its shadowy, Dickensian ditties." - Bill Picture, San Francisco Chronicle
