The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol

The idea for TBWNIS was born in the spring of 2008 by Mark McIntyre (Red Hots/Weapons Of Mass Seduction) & John Westhaver (Exploding Meet/Resin Scraper), bass and drums respectively. The two were fresh off 4 years as the rhythm section of Four 'N' Giv'r; who released 2 full length albums and played many shows, sharing stages with Lost Sounds, King Khan & BBQ, the Dirtbombs, Bellrays and many others. Finding 2 guitarists, William Guerrero (Weapons Of Mass Seduction/Expatriates) and Nathaniel Hurlow (Dead City Rebels/Glads/Fortunate Sons), the four set about creating the ultimate marriage of improvisation and hard rock edged psychedelic music.

Current members: John Westhaver, Bill Guerrero, Nathaniel Hurlow, Jason Vaughan, Dave Reford and Scott Thompson. Miche Jette, Jan Lis, Mark McIntyre, Hesham Attya, Eric Larock are featured on various recordings and are not active in the group.
