Billy ‘The Jack’ recklessly drives his soup-can rat-rod up and down the avenues of your soul, his maniacal voice penetrating deep into the hidden recesses of your psyche. And his sexuality and charisma are infamous! If it weren’t for the sanity of rock and roll, Billy would instead be leading a deep-woods religious cult, preaching in front of millions on Public Access TV.

Never one to dwell on what is popular — and too ingrained an individual to be one with any group — Billy is a study in contradiction that conforms to a normal that is anything but. Because he couldn’t find any specific music scenes to merge with — nor could he decide on any sub-genre standard, he instead just created the Modern Throwbacks sound by combining everything he liked about rock and roll—and to hell with genres! That demo album, “Bringin’ It Back!’ was a resounding success — and the rest is history.

He likes energy in a rhythm and power in a guitar riff. He’s got a quick tongue and warped, biting humors. He croons, he roars, he stomps and soars. He’s a man of class with a touch of crass —and he’s always ready!

Some of his favorite musical acts include AC-DC, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Wynonie Harris, Alice Cooper, Rick James, Ray Price, Skinny Puppy and Johnny Horton.

She was born to high society, raised to exacting standards, groomed in the finest of etiquette, schooled to the loftiest ideals and held to the highest standards. Her poise and charm are legend, for she can tame the most vile beast with just a sweet glance of her cobalt sparkle eyes.

After her stunning debut as a sweet sixteen, while grooming her newly prized Appaloosa stallion late one night, a tall, long-haired rock and roll stable hand attempted to give her his gift, which was packaged within the rhythmic “thump, thump” that jumped from the back seat of his 420 fast Camaro. It was the raw sound of seduction, the rhythm and the power of bass-heavy hard rock and roll, which in her sheltered life she had never experienced before.

As befitting a girl of her station, she was quick to spurn his physical advance—and her honor was spared. But her lust for that rumbled power remained, so she traded that fine young stallion in for a bass guitar—and a big amp. And she joined the rockin’est band ever, booming out that sweet, sexy low-end that you just can’t take your eyes off of.

And she lived happily ever after.

Her favorite rock and roll bands are Tool, Tool, Tool and yes, Tool.

He was the first one to join the Modern Throwbacks, playing that lead guitar like no-body’s business, riff and a rockin’ those fine psychedelic riffs like the devil herself. Like all lead guitarists, he can sometimes become lost in his own world, which is why it‘s so difficult to get a decent photo of him!

His animal nature was nurtured in a real live hippie commune that was tucked away inside a mountain valley, where his parents happily let him push the sonic boundaries of rock and roll with a hand hewed electric guitar powered by a stationary bicycle, his legs pumping furiously and his fingers strumming forcefully with the manic rhythm.

What you don’t know is that underneath that clean-cut classy exterior in those sharp duds lies an animal in a loin cloth—and keep that fire extinguisher handy, for he’ll burn the house down!

AND… we must thank Thomas Mundahl for filling in on the tubs that one time — and on such short notice too!
