Quadrajets

Southern trash rockers the Quadrajets from Auburn, AL, originally assembled frontman the Cheetah (Chet Weise), guitarists Roman Hardwick P.I. (Robert Hauck) and Jerome J. Jerome (Jason Russell), bassist Catfish Plate (John "Pudd" Sharp) and drummer Red Truth (Eric Truitt): later replaced in time by K.Y. Van Zant (Kevin Young)- and then J.R.R. Token (J.R. Collins). The band debuted in the spring of 1995 with the Sympathy for the Record Industry LP "When I Lay My Burden Down", followed a year later by "Alabama Hip Shake"; in the wake of completing 1998's "Pay the Deuce", Van Zant was paralyzed in an auto accident, and with new drummer J.R.R. Tokken, the remaining Quadrajets, then including James "The Fang" Wayne (Jamie Barrier) on guitar, forged on to record 2000's "When the World's on Fire". Recent shows have featured Carl "Snake" Ratliff on guitar as well.
