- Nashville, TN
- Biography
The natural charisma and undeniable mystique of Paul Megee is often discussed in coffee houses and fringe chat rooms, and can be traced back to his history on the road with Hunter S. Thompson and Jerzy Kazinski. Paul's musical style is peppered with influnces of Beck and Beasties, while his stage presence and persona is often quite Fellini-esque.
As an accomplished singer, pianist, bassist, drummer and guitarist, Paul adds a multi-dimensional element to the musical performances that are sometimes punctuated by a spontaneous kazoo solo. His favorite line in all of pop music comes from the Prince song "Raspberry Beret", in which the artist declares "My boss is Mr. Megee".

- Biography
Danny, grew up in Atlanta, GA and has played piano by ear since the age of three. As he grew older and wiser, Danny began picking up any instrument that seemed to get the chicks - and also trombone. After struggling for 4 months as a chin model, Danny decided to accept his mandible malformities and try his luck with a band. They agreed to play only instruments that got the chicks and hit the road. The band moved to Austin, Texas and after a couple of anti-climactic record deals, broke up over an argument about who stole Danny's eyeliner. The next day the drummer had pink-eye - just like Danny. Uh-huh...
Danny got started in the dueling piano scene on Sixth Street in Austin, and went on to perform in clubs in Dallas, San Antonio and Fort Walton Beach, Florida. He never had to worry about anyone stealing his eyeliner ever again. In early 2007 Danny moved to Nashville, Tennessee to help open The Big Bang where he continues to perform nightly. Danny aspires to musical greatness by actively pursuing his most passionate goal: to learn "Don't Stop Believing" in a minimum of seven different languages while petitioning it's publishing company to rename the song "Just a Small Town Girl".
As a gifted writer, Danny fronts an original band, Ameritrash which can be found on Myspace. Ameritrash CD's are on sale with a free high five with every purchase. For more info, check out www.ameritrash.net.
