Myler and Starr are the combined forces of Mike Scholl (Myler - guitar, vocals) and Steve Estabrook (Starr - guitar, bass, keys, vocals). Both have been active in the Sacramento music scene for twenty plus years in various guises playing in clubs, coffee shops and directing and performing in local theater and opera.

Myler has produced two CDs under the moniker Michael Willoughby and has played with the band Simon Pure. He manages music groups such as Victorian Noel and also teaches English and music.

Starr holds a masters degree in music and is music director of the Village Opera Theater. As Helicopter Steve he has produced a body of instrumental and electronic-based music. His latest, "In the Dark of the City."

Funny, somber, energetic and provoking - often at the same time - Myler and Starr fuses traditional elements of blues, folk and country with the post-punk sensibilities of bands like X, the Minutemen, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Three OClock and Bowie.
