Tex
drums, vocals, acoustic guitar
Tex started playing drums in his early teens.
Before hooking up with HTB, he played
punk with The Squad, weddings with
NightLife, originals with Caribou Gone,
acoustic duest with Gone Bad and country
with Dry County, The Country Rebels and
White Lightnin'. His influences range from
country to rock to Irish folk music.
Tom & Cindy
t-shirts, promotions, road crew, security, fries, refills
Who the hell is Cindy?
After years of boredom with their regular 9 to 5 jobs, this intrepid duo began checking
out the local music scene. After hearing about HTB through other area players and a
local chef, they decided to give a listen. They were hooked. When the band realized
that there was no stopping them from showing up at gigs, they were officially adopted
and put to work. They can often be spotted at the band's promo table or at an
unsuspecting bar or club trying to find new venues to play.
Lisa
vocals, guitar, bass
Lisa started playing guitar and singing
when she was 14. Influences come from
bands like Violent Femmes, Pretenders, L7
and Concrete Blonde, Lucinda Williams
and Aimee Mann. Past bands include The
Sundogs, Bad Cervix (an original band -
playing punk style rock) and Gone Bad
(acoustic/oldies).
Pete
bass, fiddle, vocals
"Pete Floyd" might provide the bottom for
HTB, but he certainly tops the list in
versatility. Besides playing bass with such
notables as The Dave Kaplan Trio, Zoa's
Arc, RPM Theatre and Caribou Gone, Pete
has been the drummer for The Metroes,
played trombone with the Glen Rock Pops
and viola with the Cedar Vale Quartet,
Livingston Symphony Orchestra and
Danbury Symphony Orchestra. PHEW! If it
wasn't for his seeing The Beatles on the Ed
Sullivan Show, he never would have
wanted to rock and roll!
J.J. guitar, bass, vocals
Being the resident head-banger of HTB is just the latest chapter in J. J.'s (a.k.a. Jack Sabbath) musical career. Early bands include Raven Supper and The Hollow, who shared the stage with national acts such as The Ramones, Madame X and Red Alert. After taking time off to raise a family, J. J. released the rock and roll that built up inside him with a vengeance that can be seen at any HTB show. His influences range from punk and metal to Chuck Berry and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
