Meet The Band

Randy Webb - guitar, vocals, kazoo. As a young boy growing up in Alta Vista, Iowa, Randy dreamed of one day becoming a dancer. Societal and gravitational pressures dashed these star-crossed desires, but the inner performer could not be silenced. With guitar in hand, he set out for Mankato, Minnesota and a long, unclear journey through the Minnesota music scene. He played in the Randy Fellows (named before he joined) and countless other bands before forming the Front Porch Swingin' Liquor Pigs. His favorite color is amber.

Rusty Jones -bass, vocals."If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell." Mr. Lightfoot must have been thinking of Rusty Jones. Talmudic in wisdom and possessing memory capabilities well above the median, Rusty is also bald. He is a rock bass player of choice in the Twin Cities, well known for his performances with rockabilly stalwarts Safety Last, the bon temps of the Rockin' Pinecones, and battlefield duty with Curtiss A. He also slings a mean bike part. Rusty digs philosophy.

John Moline - fiddle and mandolin. "J Mo" is more than just a pretty face. He can act, he can sing, he can dance, he can "front and max" and he has never dated P Diddy. Nobody knows where he came from, although it seems unlikely that it involved a family. He possesses a speaking knowledge of Esperanto. John is sort of tall, but not what you'd call really tall. John loves chewing gum.

Dave Babb - guitar, vocals. Dave was born angry, but life's hardscrabble lessons eventually made him embittered. The "Pope of Friday Night" has managed to channel his rage into productive ventures. Like futile vehicle repairs. And writing songs. And singing and playing his guitar. And picking on children. When he's not plying his musical trade, Dave earns a living through human experimentation. Dave is an inspiration and a snub of the nose to the entire field of psychotherapy. Dave's favorite song is the Old Dutch Potato Chips theme.

Jim Tollefsrud - drums, piano. Jimmy T tunes pianos. He has also played drums in several storied Minneapolis bands, including NNB, Safety Last and the Tanglewoods. Mostly though, he tunes pianos. If you need your piano tuned in the Twin Cities area, contact Jim by e-mail through this web site. Jim likes tuning pianos.
