Sasha Sumner - vocals, sax

I'm a lipstick lady
hairspray maybe
wear a wig
bear your breast
just make sure your in the right place at the right time
woman to woman
girl to girl
sophisticated product
gonna make you have the world in the palm of your hand

sit down roll over
doggie wanna bone bone . . . .

What I really wanted to express was-

pure milk would be happy
to have me take a bath in it

A description of Sasha in 3 words by another band member:
"Tall, Charming, Slightly-Buzzed."

King Solomon - vocals born in Brooklyn NY, gives the flavor of supporting vocal lines to FBI. He also is a songwriter and guitarist whose creative ability spans the genres of blues, jazz, R&B, Funk, Rock and World Beat.

Phils philosophy is stated perfectly by drummer Peter Erskine:

"Part of the craft of being a professional musician is wanting to play whatever is put in front of you."

Reut - trombone

One time he said to me: "There's a beautiful man sitting on a bench waiting for the train thinking about how magnificent the trombone gets with a tight pocket."

Atsushi Sumura - trumpet

In Japan, I like to hear a hot trumpet first thing in the morning. In New York, I like it after dinner. Atsushi drops some tastey licks on a few tunes in the live performance of FBI.

Jeff Langston - bass

Jeff brought the bottom from the Pacific Northwest. Jeff brought the deep grooves into FBI. The bottom is bottomless and the groove is oh so happening. Besides FBI, he is also in a drum and bass improvisational duo with John Bollinger.

Bob Huott - keys

Sailing through the hammond B3 organ, this cool kat landscape glues together the body of FBI. Emphasis on body. What more could you ask of a sound designer/recording engineer/TV-radio production/computer music geek!

Rich Kulsar - drums

The taste of malt whiskey is smokey, thick, peaty, and lucid up to that point just before it gets out of control. The subtle restraint of the substance is the trick of the matter and that's just what this drummer boy does.
