Meet Your New Favorite Bad Habit - ELMERZ GUN

Jim Gielink

Lead Vocals - King Crooner

Don’t let the rough exterior fool you — when he’s not belting out arena rock anthems, Jim can be found enjoying sunset beach walks, hand-thrown pottery, and perfecting his double-stitch knitting technique. His Pilates form is legendary, and rumor has it he once held a plank long enough to finish an entire Journey song.

A firm believer that all great vocal warm-ups happen in the shower, Jim’s neighbors know every word to “Livin’ on a Prayer” — whether they want to or not. Known on stage as the King Crooner, offstage he’s a soft-spoken artisan with a killer falsetto and a surprising yarn collection.

Joe Gielink

Rhythm Guitar - Groove Ninja-Tone technician

Joe’s been in music since he could walk, and by age 10, he was the only kid in the neighborhood with a full stereo system mounted to his bicycle. While the other kids were chasing ice cream trucks, Joe was blasting Van Halen and testing speaker placement at 12 mph.

Now the band’s rhythm guitar guru, Joe shows up, dials in his tone with NASA-level precision, lays down the groove like it’s a sacred duty, and then vanishes into the night faster than your willpower at an all you can eat buffet.

He’s released several tracks on Apple Music and Spotify, which have so far earned him just enough to buy one lukewarm gas station coffee — but he proudly calls it a “break-even career.”

Drew Davis

Lead guitar - the riff whisperer

Drew was born with a guitar in his hands — which made kindergarten complicated, but totally worth it. Known for solos that melt faces and mysteriously summon stray cats, Drew claims to have learned guitar by watching VHS tapes in reverse and communicating directly with the ghost of Jimi Hendrix (on weekends only).

When he's not bending strings into submission, you’ll find Drew restoring air guitars from the '80s, auditioning for shampoo commercials he wasn’t invited to, or offering unsolicited relationship advice to confused couples at gas stations.

A certified super-cutie with hair that defies gravity and fingers faster than your Wi-Fi, Drew is the Riff Whisperer — fluent in squeals, slides, and spontaneous standing ovations.

Mike Diffenbacher

Bass - Vibe Architect

Mike doesn’t just play bass — he communicates in low frequencies only dolphins and emotionally unstable houseplants can truly understand. Equal parts mystery and groove, Mike is known for holding down the bottom end while asking deep questions like, “Do pickles have souls?” and “What if our amps are actually listening to us?”

In his free time, Mike enjoys competitive yo-yoing, teaching interpretive dance to lizards, and inventing new sandwich combinations no one asked for but everyone secretly loves. He also has a well-documented love affair with craft beer, once describing a porter as “dark, moody, and surprisingly supportive.”

They call him the Vibe Architect — because without him, the whole thing would collapse into a pile of power chords and poor decisions.

Joe Stois

Drums - Lord of The Sticks

Joe didn’t choose the drum life — the drum life showed up at his door, borrowed his lawn chair, and never gave it back. When he's not shaking the foundations of the stage, you can find Joe rebuilding vintage toasters, collecting rare kazoo solos on vinyl, or serving as an unofficial referee for neighborhood squirrel wrestling matches.

He's known for fueled-by-caffeine solos, perfectly timed snare face, and the uncanny ability to find the only squeaky floorboard in any venue. His Fitbit once exploded trying to count his steps during a drum fill.

They call him the Lord of the Sticks — mostly because he keeps losing them mid-show and magically pulling new ones from somewhere mysterious (we don’t ask).
