David's one of the few musicians to play an upright electric bass, which he says gives him superior musical leverage and rare insights. Born and raised in Spearfish, South Dakota, he came to Seattle on a dare. He is convinced that the square root of 9 is actually 3.14, and just smiles knowingly when asked why he believes this.
There aren't many people who can claim to understand Einstein's theory of general relativity AND how to make bicycle chains out of discarded cat toys, but Paul isn't your average guitar player. He knows pretty much everything there is to know about the biological sciences, and has never lived in Akron, Ohio. He uses all six strings on almost every song and drives a Jeep.Â
Brian knows, and can play without written music, every song written or performed between 1868 and 2018. When asked how he can keep all that music in his head, he explains that they're all pretty much the same, and that he knows all the notes anyway, from C through B, including all those skinny black notes on the piano. He says that his vast experience living in Antartica and Greenland also helps.
There are many ways to describe Mike, although we haven't discovered any of them yet. He is prone to confusing Long Island with Rhode Island, which is understandable because he lived for decades in each of them. He has never played basketball at the professional level, and he's considering a research project to invent a new primary color, although he can't figure out what to name it.
Many people wonder how Hokum Creak attains its unique and idiosyncratic rhythms. It's largely because Geoff has neither musical skill nor experience, and also seems to be devoid of any musical talent whatsoever. This lends a certain charming unpredictability to his drumming. In his defense, he once hitchhiked from San Diego to New York in less than three days, and has never been arrested in any South American country.
