Mike, what should we say here? Mike? Hello? Oh yeah, this is HTML not my phone or text message. Mike, let's eat Taco Time today at our desks while Oso enjoys licorice.
Mike Antone
Vocals, Guitar, & Shuttle Pilot
Solemn & Wise, Mike Antone sings about the world through the eyes of a poet raised in the rainy green foothills of the Snoqualmie Valley. Mike shares his music with people all over the world. In addition to fronting the Left Coast Gypsies, Mike plays lapsteel in Seattle band Satellite by Night. Mike likes to make home-made Chinese food and share it with his dog Oso.
Caycee Furulie
Hand drums & Catnip
Music inspires him, especially the sounds of the 60's and 70's. When he was 18, he went from playing the V-dub Bus steering wheel to playing the African drum. "Playing music is a way of sharing love with everyone" says Caycee. Caycee loves his two children Kaya & Phoenix more than life itself. Caycee's roots (like most of the band) are in the Snoqualmie Valley.
Jonathan Nelson
Drums & HTML
Fleeing a decade of steadfast dedication and slave to the road in Los Burbanks, Jonathan found solace in a band whose main goal was to "make music and treat each other like brothers". Jonathan has an obsession with Radiohead and Dungeons & Dragons. He lives in Snoqualmie with his beautiful wife Maxine Rosita and their son Justice Danger.
Tempo
Pumpkin Rain Running
Tempo likes Wet Nose vegan pumpkin dog treats and running in the rain. His best friend Jonathan plays an old tribal drum that summons ancient spirits and in doing so Tempo becomes a vicious wolf and attacks the drum with a fearsome vengence! In Tempo's downtime he likes to play with tennis balls and eat all of Oso's food until he's sick!
Camelia Jade
Charango, Guitar, Percussion, & Tea connoisseur
Camelia Jade has been a touring musician for over three years with tours in Canada, Europe and the U.S. She is deeply influenced by South American folk music. Camelia is the lead vocalist for Satellite by Night, a folk-fusion/groove band based in Seattle. Camelia has been searching the world over for a pinnaple-sour cream air freshener.
Zach Johnson
Bass & Charismatic Ninja
Jon: "If you don't send me something I'm going to make up something about how you like to eat rat brains on sunday mornings off meatloaf bagels." Zach: "haha that sounds like way more fun... you make up my bio for me ;P Its off to a good start, i like the brains and meatloaf."
Oso
LCG's official Mascot
Oso is the mascot of LCG. He is a giant teddy bear who likes to sit on stage while we perform at shows. Sometimes Jonathan shares his late night turkey sandwich with the big turkey Oso. His bark is much worse than his bite, trust me. Although you might want to cover your crotch. Oso likes red licorice and potato duck dog treats for small breeds.
Gingko
It's all about the ball
Showering Caycee with affection and looks of playful intrigue, Gingko is all about the ball. Her only goal in life is to obtain the ball and bring it back to you, thus fulfilling life's cycle. Why is she part of LCG? Because we love her (and she plays the tamborine). Gingko is 12 years old but acts like she's 3 and has overcome many near death excursions!
