the BAND

Kevin Duffy's poly-rhythmic sensibilities on the drums are an integral part of MWBM's unique sound. A big part of his sound is that he plays his drums with Hot Rods. The inspiration came to him as he sat on a shaded hillside reading The Tao of Steve Gadd. After reading this story, Kevin came upon the profound realization that he could save up to 20% of his drumstick money if he bought four sets of wrapped dowels at a time, getting the fifth for free. And somewhere, far off, a pebble fell into a pond, creating ripples that nobody noticed....

Seriously, however, it is known that whenever Kevin gets into "The Zone", which is anytime a musician closes their eyes while playing music, Kevin sprouts an extra set of arms. This ability was especially useful in his previous bands, including, but not limited to, Soft-Shoe Leslie, Phosphorella, and Goblinboot. His specialty is the rock-steady and the steamed artichokes.

Chas Justus is a professional musician. Like so many other guitar players, he sold his soul to the devil in a chance meeting at the crossroads. In exchange for his soul and losing the hope of ever having a 401K, Chas received the gift of guitar mastery.

A self-professed Django-phile, Chas has taken every opportunity to whore himself out to any band that will give him a ride to practice. Chas is most famous in The Red Stick Ramblers, a band of musicians who all sold their souls to the devil in exchange for mastery of a particular instrument. Chas says, "The Red Stick Ramblers are on the way to the top! After playing The Gap in Lafayette's Northgate Mall, we got a whole slew of dates playing at Orange Julius's all across southern Mississippi!"

Doug Gay is also a professional musician, but he actually has money. That's because instead of selling his soul to the devil, he sold it to a school that pays him to teach music. Doug likes to say, "I teach young children how to sell their soul to the devil!"

Doug is a talented multi-intsrumentalist. He plays drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, vibraphones, percussion, congas, bongos, washboards, maracas, Jenga, tubular bells, saxophones, trumpets, Commemorative Statuettes of Liberty, trombones, TR808 drum machines, vibrators, and pickle jars all with an acceptable amount of proficiency.

Doug also plays with the funk band, Lingus, who is on top of the cut-throat Lake Charles music scene. He also tours with Kyper, Stevie B. and even The Charlie Pride Band (really).

Mike Waugh is the evil mastermind behind Mike Waugh Brand© Music. Mike Waugh has a unique style of playing the bass guitar, and recently underwent a seroius make-over, trading in his toothless, long-haired, Unabomber meets migrant worker look for a white-bread librarian Jonathan Franzen look. Mike Waugh likes to say about it, "Some people find religion. I found personal hygiene."

When Mike Waugh isn't playing music, he can be found hanging out at The Gap or Orange Julius. Mike also married recently. When asked about it his wife likes to say, "I thought he was just a bum asking for change."

Mike is also known to have contributed directly to the demise of the following bands: Pinecone On Tent, Lake Waugh, Brother Theresa, Softshoe Leslie, Canem, Paul Lemle's Outlaw Posse, Group Coma and Grateful Nonsense.
