Personnel

JEFF GUINNESS - yelling

Alias: El Jefe (Keeper of the sandwich)
Job: Vocalist
Hobby: Ranting and Raving

Is it a master plan or a random rant? A carefully calculated speech or just full of shit? The mouthpiece of the outfit, this yelling maniac will have you rolling in the aisles or bored to tears.

Since the demise of the Fink Squad, Jeff has busied himself with his fish. (I know you think we make this shit up, but the fucker does in fact have a bitchen' aquarium.)

JOHNNY VD - complaining

Alias: That asshole Job: guitar player
Hobby: Who has time for hobbies?
Famous Quote: "No!"

The band workaholic and guitar player. Despite all the bitching, moaning, criticizing, down-playing, berating and yelling, there is still time for the rock. Bad attitude? Fuck you. This six-string serial killer will rock harder than a pilgrim on a Plymouth.

Fuckin' slacker. That bastard John ain't done crap since the Fink Squad broke up except remix all the songs twenty times for CDs that still aren't out and play in a frickin' band that doesn't have a singer or actually play shows ever or shit. Oh, and he also played in "Go Die!" and The Hottentots, and produced tracks for Abalienation, Fun With Tungsten, Bloodsucking Freaks and The Hot Steppers. He's currently working on a solo album. Wanker.

CLINT BEIGE - sellout

Alias: Sean
Job: beating the drums
Hobby: drinking
Famous Quote: "Do we get free beer?"

The Irish kid; the drummer. He may be tipsy, but he never falls down. This drummer hits the drums as hard as he hits the bottle. And rock? He plays for several other local bands, probably for the free beer. Drunk? Yes. Count to four? Of course. Drink? You find out.

Sean, being a somewhat competent drummer, has had the largest number of gigs outside of the Fink Squad. A short list would include JFSK/cycle of Doubt/Vacant Society, Sunny Veranda, Last Train Out, Fun With Tungsten, Loudmouth and Steve Against Tim. He is currently playing with both STAN and The World Famous Hanglows up in Plattsburgh.

J-BONE - metal

Alias: J-Dog, Special J, Crazy J, etc.
Job: bass player
Hobby: pyromaniac
Famous Quote: "I'm going to set fire to (insert noun here)."

The band pyromaniac and token straight-edger. That doesn't mean he can't rock. Whether abusing the bass or abusing himself, J-Bomb is as hot as the fires he starts. He was a suspect in the Great Fire of London case in the late 17th Century, but was let off after giving the rock-solid alibi that he wasn't actually born yet.

Since the demise of the Fink Squad, Jeremy has played in several short-lived projects and also given some fresh-ass tattoos.

Former members

Scotty Cognito - Bassist Emeritus

Alias: Pope Kevorkian
Job: bass player March - September 1994, May 1995 - May 1997, October 1997 - January 1998, vocals October - November 1999
Hobby: Reading very large history and political science tomes.
Famous Quote: "Suck my government's dick."

Scott was the first bass player for our rockin' teen combo. He was in and out of the band a few times due to the dreaded "artistic differences." Scotty was responsible for much of the anarchy of our early days and was also the instigator of many of the more bizarre or outrageous things seen on stage during our shows (Dr. Pepper down the pants, playing a gig in full catcher's gear, Corn Flakes...)

Besides his stint(s) in the Fink Squad, Scotty was also the bassist for Elmira hippies Fun With Tungsten and the Indecision side projects "Go Die!" and The Hottentots. He also has appeared several times on stage as Pope Kevorkian, an avant-garde performer of intellectual songs written in the style of the late, great Wesley Willis. Since Wesley's death, Scott has vowed never to perform as PK again.

Marty Discharge - Stubbornity (is that a word?)

Alias: The other Marty.
Job: bass player May - September 1997
Hobby: Work, and when he's not working, work.
Famous Quote: "I'm going to give you a tittie twister!"

Marty was Fink Squad bassist during the ill-fated summer of '97, time of such "seemed-like- a-good-idea-at-the-time" events such as Spiderland and recording the "Some Scab Stole My Blanket!" album. A level-headed workaholic, Marty busted his ass to quickly learn everything, but eventually became frustrated by the "been-there, done-that" attitude of the rest of the band at the time. He drifted out of the group while Sean was completing his last year of college. He has stayed close to the group, however, even letting us rehearse in his basement through much of 1999.

Following his time in the Piranha Brothers, Marty formed and played guitar for the heavy rap group Fifth Element and also was the bassist for Elmira Metal group Ball Peen for a short time. Following the demise of Fifth Element, he played for several other area outfits. He is currently playing in Kung-Fu Jesus.

Martysaurus Rex - Violence

Alias: H.R. Pufnstuf
Job: lead guitar, Indecision
Hobby: Can't be repeated in polite company.
Famous Quote: "I'll kill you all!"

Marty was the original fifth member of Indecision. He was in and out of the group (much like Scotty Cognito) in the formative days. By the time Clint Beige joined, it was only Jeff and John. Scott joined back up quickly, but it wasn't until the third show that Marty appeared on lead guitar. Although most of the early set was written without him, Marty's metal stylings influenced the early development of the band, as well as the band's other guitarist. John's first gig was the singer in Marty's high school metal outfit, R.I.P., which also included future Indecision bassist Rob D. Souls. Although that did not last long, the pair played in several other projects together prior to Indecision. Eventually, Marty left the group to move to New York, prompting the name change to the Piranha Brothers and the resultant reshuffling.

Marty was last known to be in the general vicinity of Philadelphia, PA.

Rob D. Souls - Evil

Alias:
Job: bass player, Indecision (October 1994 - May 1995)
Hobby: collecting porn and basses
Famous Quote: "Sacrifice the vigrin."

The evil Rob Souls was the second bassist for Indecision, playing on the 8 Ball Not Included and Best of What We Know recordings. His contribution to the band was both his great, evil stage presence and his funky bass lines. With both Rob and Marty on board, the songs got faster and more metallic. It was not metal enough, however, and upon Marty's announcement of his retirement from the band, Rob left the group and eventually resurfaced in Elmira porn-funk metallers Lycanthris, who shared the stage with the Fink Squad on several occasions. He also briefly played with Clint Beige in a post-Lycanthris, post-Fink Squad duo.

Rob's current whereabouts are unknown.
