Biographies

Guitarist Brandon Lane started playing guitar for one reason and one reason only - to be a famous rock star and to meet women. O.K., so that's two reasons but who's counting? After spending several years struggling with an original band, he finally realized that rock stardom and the throngs (and thongs) of groupies might be out of reach. So he did the only thing a self-respecting musician could do - he joined a cover band. Since then, he's played with gobs of "memorable" local cover bands, one of which was where he met his lovely wife, singer Monique Lane. (At least the dream of meeting women came true.)
Monique Lane, or Mo as we like to call her, started singing in the 6th grade after landing the part of Queen Isabella in a school play. After graduating from high school she kept on singing while brightening the lives of countless downtrodden and geriatric souls while touring the U.S. and Europe with "Up with People". After UWP she studied music at U.C. Mo spent a few years wowing wedding reception and karaoke crowds with her version of "Respect," until Aretha Franklin called, asking for her voice back. She was the sexy voice behind the "Do Your Share For Cleaner Air" campaign (air can be sexy - it can damn it!), and she played in the cover band Biscuit where she met her husband. Her real job is in advertising (not that advertising is a real job, really) where she has won local and national awards including an Emmy. She's also quite a snappy dresser, and has an unhealthy fetish for the tambourine. Monique plans to one day retire and open the world's first Pug farm.
Bass player Joe Romelli started playing guitar at age 13 and switched to bass to start his first band with his brother Louis. The band, called Midnight Lightning, played Hendrix and related rock covers. They soon changed the name to The Joe Louis Trio and started playing every worthless, non-paying gig they could find. Joe also played in several local cover bands including The Maverick Blues Band, the Anvil Slugs and the band Acumen. By day, Joe works in fire protection, and by night he spends time with his family.
Steven “Sax Machine” Mutter grew up with a dream. When that dream proved impossible, he joined Soul Biscuit. Raised on a Kentucky farm by chickens, Steven developed an uncanny language consisting of high pitched squeaks and croaking noises. After finding a rusty saxophone in the barn one day, Steven translated this language into his one of a kind playing style. When he’s not blowing into something, Steven can be found teaching his craft to the children of the world. The rest of his time is spent channeling the ghost of Bleeding Gums Murphy and being a daddy.
Soul Biscuit drummer, John Sullivan, is the most recent addition to the band. John stepped in to replace his brother Jim who spontaneously combusted during a recent gig after mixing too much hairspray, vodka and Earth, Wind & Fire. John is veteran of the local scene and his been doing his best to cause Brandon deafness off and on for the past 15 years or so. When not playing drums John can be found either wandering the condiment aisle of the Delhi Bigg’s or at one of his son’s sporting events.
