The Feels are six friends who found a place to belong.
Joy, Angst, Love, Melancholy, Hope, and Wonder…you might think this gang has nothing in common. They each have different strengths, so they don’t all have to be strong at the same time. They help each other out and make each other better. Together they also create stuff – music, road trips, and all-around fun – that’s bigger and more awesome than anything they could create alone. The Feels always have each other’s back and together they plan on rocking the universe.

Joy
J-Skate
Sign: Pisces
Plays: Rhythm Guitar
J-Skate actively works to bring a bit of joy and happiness to everyday life. She walks the talk, takes the chance, and does the thing. J-Skate loves cute animal videos, sushi, hugs, playing rhythm guitar in The Feels, and of course roller skating. She digs upbeat songs, preferably with a horn section, and salsa dancing. Everyday is sparkles, laughter and sunshine for J-Skate, and when all that joy is just a little too much, she has her BFFs in The Feels to help balance her out.

Wonder
Star Wonder
Sign: Capricorn
Plays: Lead Singer
Star Wonder brings the ooooo’s and ahhhhh’s to the gang. They’re often found daydreaming, planning the next The Feels tour, or talking to strangers about the meaning of life, what they had for dinner, & what moves them. Mostly though, Star Wonder enjoys writing and drawing in their journal: new songs, recipes they want to try, sketches of friends old and new, and archiving the vibe of the universe. Star Wonder can sometimes seem distant or distracted but once they hit the stage they are full focus. Whether they’re crooning about the “...waves on the Intergalactic Sea where the sea shells hold infinity.” or scream singing about their favorite pizza in all the known universe, they hold the audience with an intensity that cannot be denied. Sometimes though Star Wonder can drift off into the daydream worlds they create and that’s when the rest of The Feels step in to bring them back to reality.
Angst
Lemmy
Sign: Gemini
Plays: Lead Guitar
Lemmy loves his life, except when he dreads it. He brings the sweet and sour to everything he does and helps drive the sound of the feels on rhythm guitar. Lemmy likes PB&J sandwiches (crusts OFF), moshing, pizza, and his mom (but he’s kind of mad at her right now because she won’t let him have the car this weekend). His favorite music involves massive guitar riffs, occasional cow bell, and anything k-pop. He can get kind of moody, but his pals in The Feels accept him as he is and are always there to remind him that when life gives you lemons…
Hope
Reign Beaux
Sign: Aries
Plays: Keyboards
Reign Beaux knows that with effort, perseverance, and little bit of luck, most things work out in the end. They keep their eye on the prize while working through life’s roadblocks and are always encouraging others to do the same. Reign Beaux enjoys trying new things, and their favorite food group is snacks...all the snacks. Reign Beaux is always rooting for the underdog, or undercat, or underturtle, or whatever the newest cute-animal-overcoming-the-odds video is this week. They are a whiz on the keyboards, adding haunting or peppy accents to every tune, and a maestro in the art of listening. Overall when things go wrong, as they sometimes do when the band is on the road, Reign Beaux knows not to sweat it too much because after all...tomorrow is another day.
Melancholy
Mel
Sign: Cancer
Plays: Drums
Keeping the beat for The Feels on the drums is Mel. Mel feels ok about a good cup of Earl Grey tea (hot, of course), so/so about rainy days and Mondays, and downright meh about stopping to smell the roses. One thing that always lifts Mel’s spirits is listening to their vintage Walkman which keeps anything with Sheila E., Questlove, Lori Barbaro, Janet Weiss, Tony Williams, or Horacio Hernandez in heavy rotation. Mel is in their feelings a lot and can sometimes become overwhelmed. They practice good mental health by playing in The Feels, baking for friends and family, and reaching out to people they trust when they need some help. Life can be stormy for Mel, but with their best buds The Feels around, they always have someone to help them weather it out.
Love
Lil’Dub
Sign: Libra
Plays:Bass
For Lil’Dub, life is well...complicated. Lil’Dub loves life, loves people, loves animals, loves rain, loves sunshine...he really just loves it all. Vietnamese food-loves, fast food-loves, traveling-loves, sitting quietly-loves ...it can be overwhelming to be so in love with so much of the world. As bass player for The Feels, Lil’Dub is able to transmute some of this pent up emotion through his beloved 1976 Musicman StingRay bass guitar, but sometimes his love of all the things can get the best of him and that’s when his bandmates in The Feels jump in to help get him back to the heart of the matter. There is so much to love about life that at times it can be paralyzing and Lil’Dub knows that when he can’t decide between his love of the the fun and funky basslines of Bootsie Collins, Parliament-Funkadelic era, or the irreverent bass expressions of Kim Deal, Pixies era...that his friends will help him see that he can pick both or neither and it will all be ok, cause all you really need is LOVE.
