TMBG's core members and sole songwriters are, as always,
Flans and
Linnell. However, they are currently accompanied on record and in concert by the
Band of Dans:
Dan Hickey on
drums,
Dan Miller on
guitar and keyboards and
Dan Weinkauf on
bass. The Johns seem to like 'em a lot and are planning to keep them on indefinitely.
When horns are called for, the
Velcro Horns (
Jim O'Connor on trumpet and
Dan Levine on trombone) fill that need more than adequately.
Previous band members have included bassists
Hal Cragin,
Graham Maby and
Tony Maimone; guitarists
Jay Sherman-Godfrey and
Eric Schermerhorn; drummers
J.D. Feinberg and
Brian Doherty; and horn player and all-around good guy
Kurt Hoffman.
