Ashley
Guitar and Vocals
In Ashley's younger years, he came to a realization while listening to Milli Vanilli; "When you look like I do, you don't need talent!" That's when he started to pursue his rock and roll dreams. Ashley's first big break came when he landed a weekly gig playing the kazoo in a children's puppet show. The height of his career on kazoo was a Greenlandic tour with Pablo and his Polka Amigos. Ashley's take on the tour, "Those little diablos can Polka!!!"
After the Greenland tour, Ashley decided that the kazoo was not going to sell out the Gardens. He then switched to guitar and found two other musicians willing to share a stage with him. The rest, as they say, is a train wreck.
Pat
Bass and Vocals
Pat Johnson was born due to the inevitable union of a tree and a lumberjack. This explains his fondness of plaid as well as his height (he stands more than 8ft. tall). When he was very small his father cut his mother (the tree) down for firewood and Pat has never quite been the same, fearing anything involving the word 'cut', this includes haircuts. The self proclaimed "Elvis of Harsh", Pat currently resides inside one of his house-sized cowboy boots.

Campbell
Drums and Vocals
Campbell made a tough choice early in life, cowbell or spoons. He went with cowbell. Campbell gained immediate notoriety with his brief cameo with the Blue Oyster Cult, which ultimately caused turmoil in the band (as can be seen in the biographical segment staring Will Ferrell on Saturday Night Live).
After causing such turbulence in one band, Campbell decided to turn back to his first true love, the spoons. Campbell was disappointed with the spoons reputation of being solely an instrument for the toothless. So when he heard of Soundgarden’s plan to make the spoons the focal point of one of their songs, Campbell was overcome with joy. Once again he made a cameo, and once again caused turmoil. It is a little known fact that Campbell was the ultimate demise of the band.
Campbell then went out in search of another band to break up. He found one; Train Wreck City.
