ted bunch – guitar / vocals
ted has been playing music since age 8. he has lived and made music in chicago, los angeles, houston, austin, new york city, st. louis, philadelphia and southern new jersey. as principle songwriter, vocalist and guitarist for THEOPOLIS JAMES, ted is proud to have miles holland on drums and joe jandura on bass. miles’ contribution to the band is paramount with song writing, lead and background vocals in addition to his monstrous talents on the drum kit. joey’s thunderous bass playing is in the pocket, full bodied and rockin’, making this power trio large as marge.
ted can also be heard mangling tones, textures, and grooves with co-conspirator LOWBALL JACK as the loco production duo LOS CONFABULATORS. on top of ted’s thirsty work on the theopolis james and los confabulators records, he’s played with, recorded and/or produced a variety of artists including: the ticket, slackface, thick, trunk of funk productions, second line productions, black ‘n’ decca, soledad brothers, purity of essence, the chance trio, the jon madof trio, the kevin collins quartet, lazlo, evelyn aileen bunch, the water tower home schoolers, gank, the highwire gallery’s jazz series. ted has also performed around the philadelphia area with rock ‘n’ roll bands mothergod, surge, cryermouth, and sex in violets.
miles holland – drums / vocals
in 1997, a crack commando drummer was sent to the united states by a military court for a musical crime he did not commit. this man promptly escaped from a musical security stockade of endless stadium Rock to the collingswood, nj underground. today, still wanted by the government, he survives as a drummer of fortune. ted had great guitar driven songs, no one else could keep the beat, and when he found miles, ted just had to recruit…miles holland*
*miles holland plays courtesy of anyone who will take him. he’s thirty-three, almost six feet tall, and weighs 156 lbs. his influences range anywhere from stuff he currently has on his ipod to songs he heard on wxpn last night.
joe jandura – bass / vocals
joey has been playing the bass guitar for over twenty years. he has been in several different bands and projects over the years with the most recent being no warning shots, a metal band out of bellmawr, nj.
he got started early with music at the age of four when he took lessons on the organ and later moved to the bandura (a ukrainian string instrument). after that it was keyboards until the age of fourteen when a close friend got him hooked on the bass guitar. he’s been wrestling the four (and sometimes five) string beasties ever since.
