A Musical Tribute to the 80s. This is a truly professional working group with the highest-caliber musicianship I've ever been around. We covered everything from Billy Idol to Talking Heads with a surprisingly soulful edge and the requisite dose of camp. Famous for our genre-defying medleys, we kept the asses shakin' and the bar tab open.  Co-stars: Dirk Manley, Rocko Starr, Roxy Britannica, and The Reverend.

										Spawned from a short-lived group called Pipe, this reunited the Mr. Salty trinity, adding a second guitar and bluesy vocals. Four-chord modern rock with southern tendencies, spanning Pearl Jam to Collective Soul to The Black Crowes. Best known for "Here I Go," an original tune that eventually got regional airplay. Furley was largely the house band at a Maryville, MO club called. . . Molly's.  Other players: Jon Kluiter, Pat Redd, Darin Casey, Austin Howell. Darin and Austin split time with Des Moines favorite The McKenzies, who recorded two great albums and for whom I also created a music/live promo video.
	1994 - 95
										Hey, it's a better name than The Extreme Skid Halen Floyd Peppers, which pretty much summed up our influences at the time. This came together from a series of internet BBS postings (yes, the 'net existed back then) from the drummer, mutual friends, and some natural-selection jamming. The final gasp of pre-grunge metal, we covered GNR, Poison, Crue, etc. for beer money, eventually recording a CD of original guilty pleasures called "Life, Love, and Mediocrity." Partners in crime: Tony Konecne, Jon Kluiter, Darin Casey. Previous players included Nathan Carter and a guy named Chad.
	1992 - 93
										We were gonna change the world, one self-indulgent guitar solo at a time. Maybe even graduate from high school. For some reason DVS (get it?) comes up in conversation every now and then. We never even played a real gig, it was just a garage band covering glam, dinosaur, and hair rock like Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, and Faster Pussycat. Witness Protection co-conspirators: Chris Thorman, Mike Holien, and Jason Tolbert.  Note: not our real logo.
