In 2006 Uwe Petersen was welcomed in as the band's drummer. Petersen and lead singer Michael Messer met in Amsterdam in 1997 when they were touring Europe and the Middle East in the musical Hair. In 2008 he was replaced by drummer/percussionist Sean Dixon, of the Katy Pfafl Band. Dixon was introduced to Messer at the Carre theater in Amsterdam, during that same tour. Dixon was in Amsterdam playing in a Grateful Dead tribute band. Jasper Leak, an Australian who previously toured with singer Songwriter Marc Broussard replaced Eric Rockwin as the band's bass player.

Former Members

Former members include Nadine Nassar, who played the role of the blue haired dancer "Dizzy Izzy Clown"in the videos "Dino-Soaring" and "Music Everywhere", and Diana Ferrante, a classically trained ballet dancer, yoga instructor, actress and model who played the blonde haired dancer "Rock Angel" in the videos "No Good Reason Party" and "SuperSpies". Diana's first appearance with the group was on the nationally broadcast morning talk show FOX and Friends. That same day, bass player Eric Rockwin was unavailable, and guitarist Ty Citerman dutifully and seamlessly filled in. Citerman continues to fill in on guitar and bass occasionally.

In the earliest incarnation of the band, Eric Rockwin and Paul Chuffo were the bass player and drummer respectively, and are featured on the group's first 2 CDs. Also featured on the first CD, "the Search and Rescue of Genius Backpack" were Broadway actors Matt Stocke and Bradley Dean, plus a series of different singers on various songs. After that CD, which was primarily a fund-raising tool for KIDS CREATIVE, the group found itself a more regular lineup and began to develop a recognizable personality and sound.
