*Nygel Ajax has played all over the Chicagoland area and suburbs, but calls "The Southside" home. Doug, John, Dave, and Jim all grew up together on The Southside of Chicago and have played music in and out of bands with each other since they were young enough to hold guitars and drumsticks.
*Diane also hosts Karaoke shows and Dj's a bit in the Saint Charles Area at Chord on Blues (Tuesdays) and East Side Pub. (Wednesdays & Most Fridays)
*Diane and Doug are also currently the hosts of the "Open Jam Sessions" at America's Historic Roundhouse in Aurora on Thursdays.
