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.

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 no-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 (thelast three bands also contained Badlees drummer Ron Simasek), 5%, X-CALIBUR (a band which played a show at RFK stadium), Movin' Violations, Dreamer, Descyple, Teaser, Revolving Door, Excalibur, and Nasty Habit.

Kenny Romer, Jr.
Vocals, Guitar

Kenny started playing guitar when he was about 8 years old. He wasn't sure that's what he wanted to do at the time, and so he hung it up until he was in his double digits. After trading an old bicycle for a guitar in high school (a darn good trade, we might add) he finally acquired a guitar that actually worked well enough to learn songs on. He joined the John Styles Band around 1983...which at the time actually contained TWO guys name John. Unfortunately both of the guys named John eventually left the group....leaving the remaining members to re-name themselves the Styles Band. Kenny played in that band for many years, before being recruited to play in Revolving Door in 1998. Revolving Door was a very short-lived stint for him though, as it folded into Nasty Habit shortly thereafer, in August 1999.

Kenny’s musical resume states that he has been a member of the following local bands: John Styles Band/Styles Band, Revolving Door, and Nasty Habit.

Notably, while in Nasty Habit, Kenny 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, he has opened for THE RODS and Skid Row.

KENNY'S GEAR: Charvel guitars, Peavey Wolfgang Special guitars, 80's Washburn Mercury Series guitar, and an Alvarez G60 Acoustic guitar. Kenny also uses a Line 6 Pod and a Peavey 5150 Amp (that was tweaked by Voodoo Amplification in Lansing, NY).
