Born
to vampires in a trailer park in Arizona, Kayce ran away from home
at the age of 12 to join the circus as a knife thrower's assistant.
In the circus, she met Olida, a tarot reader, who introduced Kayce
to the art of voodoo. As Kayce's interest grew, she knew she needed
to find her way to the "heart" of Mojo.
Kayce
left the circus and made her way to New Orleans, where she worked
as a chambermaid in a brothel run by retired nuns. She filled her
days with song, singing for pennies on the streets of the French
Quarter, where she was discovered by Blackie. The rest, as they
say, is history.

Conceived on a pool table in Lucky's Ballroom,
born in the backseat of a '61 Thunderbird on Bourbon street and
baptized by fire in the swamps near Bayou Lafourche, Blackie learned
early never to say no. Especially to little girls in pigtails and
plaid skirts.
Some say his father was a '52 Panhead brought
to life by a voodoo princess. Others say his father was a plain
and simple murderer. Whatever the reason, he howls whenever the
moon is full, and screams every time he picks up a guitar.

They say the
best ones always go bad. And in the case of the Oil Pan Sluts, there
is no question about it. They were high society debutantes, with
keys to the city waiting to be hung on their pinkies. But they gave
up the white glove life of crumpets and tea for an overalled life
of fire and gasoline.
Just days before
their eighteenth birthdays, they hotwired the mayor's car, drove
it through ballroom of the Trinity Plantation (in the middle of
a black tie ball), and headed down they highway straight out of
Squares Ville, never to look back.

Born to a santaria priestess in Port of Tampa, Baker came into this world
naked, bloody and screaming. After a stint in the Orleans Parish drunk tank -
at the age of 12 - Baker found himself in front of the grave of Marie Laveau.
No one knows what happened that night, but 13 dead bodies were found in the Iberville Projects
and Baker could play like he was posessed by the ghosts of old Storyville.
