Rebecca plays with
a rotating cast of talented characters including:
Rich "Tasty Licks" Bennett (Guitars)
Richard Bennett, a native of Staten Island, began playng guitar after
a convincing viewing of La Bamba. He is a veteran of NYU's Jazz Department.
While attending school there, Bennett became especially fond of the
chicken salad in the cafeteria. He enjoys watching serial dramas like
Twin Peaks and teaching children guitar.
He plays and writes furiously for Friendly
Bears and Monocle.

Dan "Nuchim" Shuman
(Upright and Electric Bass)
Daniel Shuman is a native of Sharon, Massachusetts. A while back he
graduated with a degree in Jazz Studies and Performance from William
Paterson College in Wayne, New Jersey. Since then, he has been a movie
theater usher, a legal proofreader, a recorder of adverse drugreactions
and, for all intents and purposes, a babysitter. In his spare time he
reads about neoconservative politics and Swedish swear words. He's also
a great songwriter in
his own right.
Russ
"Fuss" Meissner (Drums)
30-something "Fuss" Meissner hails from Toronto where as a
youth he exhibited contemporaneous passions for both secular judaism
and banging on things for fun. Hearing Canadian drum luminary Neal Peart
solidified his interest in drums, but he found the allure of New York
City potato latkes and kasha varnishkes too alluring to remain in the
cold north. He packed a small satchel and headed to the States where
he succumbed to the swing eighth note and even the occasional pulled
pork sandwich. Today Fuss offers an open-ended culinary approach coupled
with an intense yet transparent method of monotheistic percussion.
Basil
(Moog/ Electric organ)
Basil got his start doing voice-overs for pet food ads. Although he
enjoyed the spotlight, he yearned to explore his more creative side,
and thus became interested in keyboard instruments.
Basil has developed a special playing technique which he calls "free
paw;" it involves running at lightning speed across the keys and
flipping switches at random. Basil is
currently director of the Feline Moog Project, a small Brooklyn
experimental music collective.
