SKERIK : Skerik is a saxophone player who has popped up all over the scene, from his own band Critters Buggin' to his spot as co-founder of Garage A Trois to playing onstage with bands like Medeski, Martin & Wood and Robert Walter's 20th Congress. Skerik is the consummate guest musician, always adding just the flavor the music required without imposing too much of his own presence.

MIKE DILLON : Les Claypool's Frog Brigade. Garage A Trois. Critters Buggin. Malachy Papers. Karl Denson's Tiny Universe. The Hairy Apes BMX. The one element in common with all these bands is a man named Mike Dillon. His skill on percussion instruments of many stripes has caught the attention of groups far and wide keeping Mike busy on stages and in studios for many years. To watch Mike D play is quite a thing. His entire body gets involved with the instruments and he rarely stops moving. His arms a blur and his head shaking nearly loose from his frame, Mike seems possessed with a desire to always find something new, something deliciously rhythmic in any piece. And low and behold he usually finds it.
