Dan Curcio and Chris “Haircut” Arntzen began their musical collaboration after meeting in the Sierra Madre dorms in the Fall of 2002.
[1] In 2003, Nick Bilich was introduced to Curcio through his girlfriend and Haircut discovered John Vucinich drumming on his knee in the hallway of the math building.
Much to the dismay of their large fanbase, in 2011 the economic realities and rigors of maintaining a six-member band forced the members to disband and pursue other life endeavors while continuing to explore music interests individually.
Lead singer and lyricist Dan Curcio has launched a successful solo career with the release of his first CD titled "Bonfire".
[8] In addition to his teaching role, Paul is a professional composer having released two EPs (Transitions and Renewal) with his jazz collective and a single (Autumn Has Come) featuring vocalist/composer Rebecca Mimiaga.
[10] He also continues to tour and record as a professional bass player with notable SF Bay Area artists such as Jacob Aranda and The Good Bad.
At times their songs have featured additional vocalists, harmonica, keyboards, guest rappers, multiple drummers, violin, didgeridoo, and a 7-piece horn section.
