The ladies, from left to right:

 

Meghan Rose (vocals/guitar/accordion/piano) - Meghan Rose has a lot of instruments in her apartment: electric cello, ukelele, bass ukelele, clarinet (currently in the care of Ms. Maxwell), keyboard, old heavy upright piano, lots of guitars, mandolin, dulcimer, accordion, "drums", sleigh bells, and a slide whistle. Former projects include Strange Talking Animals and A Catapult Western (with the lovely Ms. Detert). Meghan has also vamped fantastic and music-directed for several musical theater productions, including performing and teaching musical improvisation with Atlas Improv Company.

 

Kelly Maxwell (vocals/guitar/harmonica/piano) - Kelly is a bit of a Renaissance woman. She also sings and shakes the tambourine for local disco supergroup VO5, acts in about a million plays and short films, and gives killer massages. She also makes for a terrifying clown--fair warning.

 

Laura Detert (viola/piano/bells) - LauraI is likewise a multi-instrumentalist. She plays viola, bass, and piano, and spends much of her time chasing butterflies and snakes on behalf of the State. She's been in the UW-Minnesota and UW-Madison symphony orchestras and currently plays with the SOS String Quartet. She has also been in the bands Strange Talking Animals and A Catapult Western.

 

Emily Mills (vocals/percussion) - Emily loves this band with all her heart. She would marry it if that were legal. Of course, being the loving type, she also moonlights as the drummer for Madison-based garage/surf/pop outfit The Shabelles. She does a lot of other artsy stuff, too, but we won't get into that now.
