The Turtles

[ John-Currie ] John-Currie Hester made a New Year's resolution to start a band- and Turtle Recall was the result. As its founder, JC is the driving influence on the band's style and direction. He sings, plays keyboard, and will occasionally hold a bass on stage to look cool.
[ Guido ] Guido DeHoratiis, following a "hasty offer," co-founded Turtle Recall with John-Currie. While focusing his seemingly unlimited energy (which he siphons from a supply cabinet at his place of employment) on lead guitar, Guido excels at, and is often seen playing drums and bass.
[ Erin ] Erin Girardi helps to balance out the testosterone-heavy, handsome manliness that is Turtle Recall without her. Erin likes tea, cheese, tambourines, and glitter. She also sings pretty well as co-lead vocalist!
[ Alex ] Alex Penney is one of the earliest members of Turtle Recall. You're most likely to hear him on the bass, but don't be shocked if he whips out a killer guitar or keyboard solo every now and then.
[ Mike ] Mike Dalianis is Turtle Recall's newest addition. We have no idea what Mike really does for a living, but we're pretty sure it has something to do with designing demotivational screensavers in MS Word. Mike keeps us in time and in line on the big bass drum. Holla.
[ Matt ] Matt Kupferman was tricked into joining Turtle Recall when a brief guest solo appearance with the band exposed him to an untapped world of booze, groupies, and rock & roll. Playing fiddle, mandolin, and sometimes banjo with the group, he is secretly on a mission to turn Turtle Recall into an all-out bluegrass band.
