Missy Gibson (lyrics, music)
Missy grew up in the Detroit area and graduated from Wayne State University with a BFA in theater, appearing in numerous plays throughout the Detroit area as well as acting in various commercials and industrial films. She also had the honor of studying with Uta Hagen. Gibson began collaborating with multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Mike Flanagan in 1999, and in 2002 the two released the first full-length Breech CD, APRON STRINGS (2003 DIY Album Of The Year) and a debut self-titled CD by their other newly-formed band, Nellie Bly. Breech had decided to combine their musical talent with their prowess in the kitchen, garnering much attention from their series of "rock and roll bake sales," which funded the recording costs of APRON STRINGS. Their delicious treats and DIY genius impressed The Los Angeles Times and LA Weekly, who dubbed Missy "Betty Rocker.” Breech released a new CD, TARNISH AND UNDRESS in October of '07, which indie-music.com has chosen as one of the top 25 indie releases of last year. The CD continues to receive positive reviews and is currently being played on KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic."

Mike Flanagan (lyrics, music)
Mike Flanagan has been making music in various forms since the 2nd grade in Los Alamitos, CA, where he began his long road to his current status as multi-instrumentalist/composer/songwriter. Prior to meeting Missy Gibson, Flanagan performed with, wrote songs for and toured the U.S. and Europe with L.A./Oakland-based oddball cabaret band Giant Ant Farm, as well as fronting alt-rock band Willoughby, where his songs appeared in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" as well in several independent films. He has also been performing and writing with The Lisa Marr Experiment, which has released two cds on Sympathy for the Record Industry as well as doing some scoring work for commercials and independent film. He writes and records his own songs under the name Heliotrope as well as plays with Gibson in indie bands Breech, Nellie Bly and traditional Irish band Paddy's Pig.
