History of the band (a little fact... a little fiction):

Ken and Patrick became well acquainted with each other during their years in juvi - juvenile corrections.  When Patrick heard Ken playing his guitar in a nearby holding cell, they got to talking.  Before long the two were spending what little free time they had jamming.

Along the way, the twosome decided to call themselves C- in reference to how they barely made the grade and made it to adulthood.  They decided to clean up their acts (each is now happily married with two children and a white picket fence) and their jam sessions became their high.

Late 2003, Holly learned of Ken and Patrick's jam sessions and bugged them to back her up for a regional music award.  They spent 3 months learning "Here Comes the Sun" together.  This was the first debut with all three of them.  The guys were somewhat intimidated by Holly and at that time she was not a member of the band but was rather a "guest vocalist" according to Patrick.  It wasn't until 18 months later and another regional music award that she was accepted... finally.  Ken and Patrick, now more mature (well, older) accepted Holly "seeing as we have no "edge" without her!" referring to her tattoos, history of drinking problems, poker, incarcerations, and diva-like tirades even though she, too, is happily married with two children and a white picket fence.

Occasionally  plugged in, occasionally acoustic, always kick-ass.  Many of their songs are borrowed from other artists, which they do adapt to their own style.
