Gene
Carroll
Electric Bass, Acoustic Guitar
Third Base
Gene is the tall one on your right
(usually). He sings a couple tunes, and makes funny
faces ALOT. Gene is also the sound engineer and general
equipment repair guy. If the band sounds bad, mention
it to Gene, as he always appreciates criticism from
the audience. If the band sounds good - remember,
it's a TEAM effort! Most of the time, it's Gene who
chooses the music that plays while we're on break.
Gene has a daughter who speaks Japanese. And she's
not even Japanese! (Neither is Gene) |
Tony
Chambers
Acoustic
& Electric Guitars, Mandolin
Shortstop
Tony is in the middle of the three
people who are standing up,and is the overall spokesperson
for the band, though at times each of us has a specific
topic we like to expound on. The baby of the band,
Tony also handles bookings and other financial matters.
Because of this, he makes a lot more money than the
rest of the guys. When he's not performing with Serapis,
Tony is an Emmy Award-winning photographer/editor
with KSDK, the St. Louis NBC affiliate. During a performance,
you'll most likely be dazzled by the lazer-like precision
of the light show. Also Tony's work. |

Bob
Gleason
Drums,
Elec Guitar, Harmonica
"Hey - you look like that guy from
ZZ Top..." Bob never tires of hearing that one. Bob
Gleason, the only band member whose name can be rearranged
to spell "Boob Angels", is the oldest member of
the band, and also plays a mean harmonica. As if drums weren't enough, Bob is proficient on several instruments, including harmonica, guitar, clarinet, sax, and flute. Bob has a daughter who
is a space scientist! In his "spare" time - Bob is
the owner/head-honcho, top-dog/big-cheese/Mister Big
of Imagitrax! |
Todd
Luerding
Keyboards,
Drums, Percussion, Vibraphone, Accordian
Second Base
The only legally ordained minister
in the band, Todd is usually on the left (as you face
the stage). So if it's 1:30 in the morning, and you've
found that perfect mate - come find Todd. He can perform
the ceremony. In addition to keyboards, Todd also
plays the conga drums, and handles other percussion
duties. He plays drums and mallet instruments. And for some unknown reason
he also plays the accordian. Todd has a special brain
lobe devoted to useless TV trivia. He once stumped
Jerry Mathers in a "Leave It To Beaver" trivia challenge.
And while many people can tell you that June Cleaver is from East St. Louis, IL, not many recall her maiden name. Oddly, he seems proud of this.
