Ben Sizemore moved from Little Rock to Oakland in 1989 with his band, Econochrist, and other friends. This pack of new arrivals established Little Arkansas, an infamous punk house that was around for many years. Ben also lived at 3240 Adeline Street in South Berkeley, a grimy multi-apartment punk compound that featured a revolving cast of characters, including members of Neurosis, Rancid, Dead and Gone, Alkaline Trio, El Dopa, Born Against, and a grumpy old man named Stan. 

He has worked for many years as a union organizer and representative. He lives in Oakland and still goes to an inordinate number of punk shows.

Ravi Durbeej was born in Georgetown, Guyana, grew up in Queens, NYC, and went to high school in Ft. Lauderdale before moving to Berkeley, CA the summer of 1995.
The first record he bought was the 'Heart of Glass' single by Blondie in first grade and after buying the 'Let's Go Crazy' single by Prince in fourth grade, he proudly told his parents he was going to play Rock and Roll. As confused first-generation Indian immigrants, they acquiesced and enrolled him in clarinet lessons and math team later that year.
In Oakland he lived at the Chevron Station on 55th & MLK, the M&A Laundromat, the garage of the 54th St. House, and the Vallejo St. House to name a few.
He currently lives in San Francisco and plays music every day.

Janelle Blarg (also known as Janelle Hessig) is a Bay Area writer, cartoonist, and multimedia humorist.

In 1990, while other bad kids were making secret bongs in her high school Crafts class, she made her first publication, Tales of Blarg, which became a definitive and influential East Bay punk fanzine.

Her writing and mostly-autobiographical comics can be found in numerous periodicals and comics anthologies published by Three Rivers Press, Silver Sprocket, KQED, Popula, Maximum RocknRoll, and Vice, though she always holds a special place for the xeroxed and ephemeral.

She’s been a touring drummer, a pop culture journalist, the subject of a seminal riot grrrl album, and the Marketing Director for San Francisco publisher Last Gasp.

She currently lives in Oakland
