In 2007 and 2008 Kevin started collaborating with some musicians he met online.  Their contributions have been immense, both through the excellent contributions as performers and for their honest feedback.  Scott Watts has since moved on to pursuing other interests unrelated to music, but has expressed interest in working with Kevin on a long term multimedia project (details soon).   Lew has not contributed much in 2008 but could on future tracks.

It should be noted that the Rudy Strooglitz page was Lew's creation, Kevin helped with photo-chopping some of the pictures for mock advertising.  It remains incomplete as a tribute to something deep.

Kevin Heckeler: Self-taught producer of such other hit bands as Slightly Dimmed and Dischord, Kevin was really stretching his mental capacity by using absolutely any part of his mind during these recordings.  Biggest influences are Rush, Frank Zappa, Tool, Pink Floyd, QOTSA, Dream Theater, Primus, Yes, Opeth, Porcupine Tree... the list goes on.

Lewis Benko: Lewis, also known as Lonesome Lewis, is from a small town in CT.  He began to play the guitar at age 11, and was introduced to the blues by age 15.  Some of his favorite artists include Mississippi John Hurt, Prokofiev, Cecil Taylor, Captain Beefheart, and Buckethead.

Scott Watts: singer, songwriter, screenwriter, filmmaker and schizophrenic, is a proud resident of Los Angeles, California (and by proud he means (yes he, don’t act so surprised, he is clearly writing this himself…) he means that he regularly suffers from intense road rage, refers to himself as a transplant and as a proud New Yorker (at which time everyone assumes he means New York City) and has consumed Avocado in the last twelve hours) took vocal lessons at a very young age from a wild pack of Hyenas and an old, wise Howler Monkey, who liked to sit in the sun and listen to Jazz because of how it made his hair feel when the trumpet player hit those high notes, in a one room school-house in a very remote part of Maine that smelled like feet and fresh-cut flowers.

Today he thinks he still likes music.  He says it helps him make sense of all the chaos!  Or maybe he’s thinking too much!

Mike Vieira:  Mike and Kevin met through an online bulletin board.  After hearing Mike's rough tracks, Kevin offered to help remix his work.  Since then Kevin has taken an active role in helping produce Mike's music, as well as sit-in on bass for many of the newer recordings.  You can check out more of Mike's music by visiting his website.  Mike appears as guest vocalist/lyricist on That Deadly Night, which also features drumming by another online collaborator Josh Bennett (a.k.a. dross).

Brian O'Connell:  Brian was introduced to Kevin through Mike Vieira while working on new music for Mike's upcoming album.  Brian is a talented guitarist and a master drum programmer. You can check out more of Brian's music by visiting his myspace page.  Brian appears as guest drum programmer on the remix of That Deadly Night, which will appear on the Mike Vieira's soon to be released album.

Oliver:  He's a cat and meows on "I have thoughts in my mind".  His favorite people are silly, passionate, and willing to clean his litter pan.
