Lixx, Friday's Child (with Dave Clark, a/k/a "Clarkie"), Marco's

Terry Mingle
Vocals, Guitar, Keyboard, Flute, Percussion
Terry began singing as soon as she could
talk. Lessons on flute and piccolo began in 2nd Grade. Rock music
was introduced shortly thereafter when she discovered her neighbor
(Billy Strong) had a garage band called the Misty Blues (now
he plays in The Cafferty Band). Two local 80's bands, Tokyo and
THE RODS, further solidified the interest and drive to get into
a rock band, so she began lessons on piano (thank you to Charlotte
Attleson) and guitar (thank you to Wayne Torrey). Private voice
lessons were
added afterward (thank you to Shirley Wilson).
Terry attended Mansfield University, where she was a flute/voice major and obtained
a degree in Music Merchandising (music/business/marketing). While at MU, she
learned to sing opera and participated in several classical and jazz groups,
but over the years she has also played in various local and not-so-local rock
bands such as: The Heartbeats (w/Betsy Palmer, a/k/a Betsy Raunchette), Eruption,
Onnex/Exit, JR Mangan Band, Secret Service,
Leaky Sneakers (the last three bands also contained Badlees drummer Ron
Simasek and manager Terry Selders), 5%, X-CALIBUR (a band which played a show
at RFK stadium), Movin' Violations, Dreamer, Descyple, Teaser, Revolving Door,
Excalibur, and Nasty Habit.
Notably,
(while in Revolving Door) Terry opened for Alison Krauss and played in a festival
which included the national act Nazareth. While in Nasty Habit,
Terry played for NASCAR races at Watkins Glen International
Raceway in 2004 and 2005, opened for the national acts Jefferson
Starship, David "Rock" Feinstein, and THE RODS, and
also played in a festival which included the national act Iron
Butterfly. As a member of Blue Monday, she has opened for THE
RODS and Skid Row.
TERRY'S GEAR: Brian Moore iGuitars (Terry
is an official iGuitar
Artist), Korg Triton keyboard and keyboard volume pedal,
Ovation Legend acoustic/electric guitar (but only because
iGuitar does not make an acoustic/electric guitar…YET), Line 6 Flextone II XL amp & extended floorboard,
Roland keyboard amp, DOD SR 866 Two Channel compressor/limiter/gate, Gemeinhardt
flute, Digitech Vocalist Live 4 vocal processor. |

Elliott Mitro
Chief Roadie
He could probably lift a Cadillac
if we asked him to, and he never seems to complain
when we're all bellowing "ELLLLIIIIIOOOOOOTT!!!!!" at
once. In addition to being a pretty darned good softball
player, and a die-hard Kasey Kahne fan, he's also our
most faithful roadie...which is why we made him our
CHIEF roadie...wait a sec, he's our ONLY roadie!! But,
no matter, even if we had a team of 500 roadies, our
boy Elliott would be at the top of the list, because
he's always there when we need him to move something
(or need him to get us a beer). |

David Dennis
Soundman
Just call him a knowledge sponge.
In addition to being an owner of PARKVIEW AUTOMOTIVE
shop in Enfield, NY, David cut his mixing teeth with
NASTY HABIT band (that was Tom, Brian, and Terry's
LAST group - with a VERY different set list). Yes,
you could say that we "discovered" David's
talent for running sound while he was sitting
around in between driving the band bus to and
from gigs. He has since graduated to mixing many
of the area's top acts. All we know is that in addition
to his talents as a top Subaru mechanic (we call
him "Dr. Dave"), this boy definitely has
an ear for music! |
