It began as an odd merger of musicians: Tom Lackner and Joe Woodard,
drums and guitar, respectively, eager to get feet wet in rock waters again,
admiring the rhythm sectional tromp of Rob Taylor and Bruce Winter,
guitar and bass, respectively. They played, made TEX,
then Rob left to pursue Rob. flapping, Flapping, FLAPPING lost
a word. Then, Glen Phillips joined the fold. Then they played and enjoyed
each other's otherness, and made a CD, Montgomery Street,
and then Glen left to play in his popular combo, Toad the Wet Sprocket.
Next up, guitarist-singer-songwriter-nice-guy John Askew-- who played with Winter
in the band Wasted Tape-- entered the picture. This incarnation has started
work on the third album.
The saga continues, although the direction remains pleasantly vague.
