We have always made family a priority.  Darren "Papa Smoke" Gruen is now "Granpa Smoke" and is enjoying jamming with his son Issac. Travis Puhse is driving a truck to help support his family.  Alex Honke has been enjoying family life and continues to work in the studio with Bash. They have been learning video editing and using midi files to create new songs.  Dennis Laird aka "Bash" co hosts a radio show on 94.3FM in Alton, Illinois. The show supports local live performances in our area known as the "Riverbend." Check out some of the live videos of our local music scene currently under the "Video from local Festivals" tab or on our You Tube channel Cottonmouth dot org.  Break ins at our studio when we advertise a show have made it difficult for the band to play live.
