• Philly's St. James and the Apostles at Mojo 13 in Claymont. From a founding member of Marah and Asteroid #4, along with his two cousins: 'The sound of this group could be best summed up as The Doors' "Strange Days" meets Black Flag's "My War", or "Saucerful of Secrets" era-Pink Floyd meets Mudhoney.
