Mike Velasquez- drums
Dan Jensen- bass
Dez Dickerson- guitar

Wow! More stuff coming soon.

Brad Johnson, ex-guitarist in Impaler and Idol Threat, remembers seeing Whalebone at The Ramsey County Fair in the early 1970s. It blew his mind.

Mike has also played with Son Seals, Chris Duarte, James Solberg, Walter Trout, Jesse Johnson, Ragges, and currently plays with Willie Murphy when he gigs with a band.

Thanks to Mike for the cool stuff.
