It's hard to believe that it was back in 1995 that a local group

of runners thought that it would be fun to put together a band

to play at their annual Mohegan Strider Running Club Banquet.

Chris Hansen (guitar) had just left the bands "Last Summer" and

"Act I" and was looking for another musical endeavor. Chris and

Curtiss Thompson (guitar/vocals) brainstormed about the concept

of forming a band while watching live music after a local road race.

Curtiss is a member of "The Village Jammers" as well as "Run for

Cover." Lucky for Chris and Curtiss, Jim Carper (bass/vocals) of

"DeeBolay" and Todd Guertin (drums/vocals), of too many bands to

give it a try...[more]
