Josh Browne (bass): 22. Graduated from University of Minnesota a few months ago. Currently temping so that there’s no risk of a daytime career interfering with his rocking.  Gets nearly unlimited free Summit beer because of family connections.  Rooms platonically with Mimi Sjostrom.

Jon Maxwell (guitar): 25. Works at a dog daycare/boarding facility in Minneapolis.  Is frequently concerned that (with the possible exception of Josh) the other Awesome Boys don’t take work as hard or take the band as seriously as he does.

Aaron Schiel (vocals, guitar): 26. Works in s customer service call center, advising tech people about training programs which are completely impenetrable to him.  Angry that, despite being there for 3 years, hasn’t been promoted to team leader.  Considers himself leader of the Awesome Boys, even if bandmates don’t.  Lives with Dan in rented house in St. Paul.

Dan Siegel (drums): 26.  Does tech support at a large art museum in Minneapolis; hates it.  Thinking of going back to school, although worried about what this would do to the Awesome Boys (and also unsure what he’d go back for).  Has been dating girlfriend Miranda Cerney for 2 years.

Mimi Sjostrom: 22. College friend of Josh’s, rooms with him after graduation.  Works in software marketing.  Wants to write for a living; is currently working on a novel about sentient feet.
