Jim Williams: Lord Of Lyrics

Who is the lyricist of Red/7-g? Why, it's James M. Williams of course! He is also known as "7" in the band. He writes most of the songs for the band, and attempts to rap on the songs. Sometimes he can write 5 songs in one sitting, other times he can't think of anything.

Jim thinks the best songs that

he has done vocals on are:
~Stuff That Sucks
~Outta Whack
~Life
~Pick It Up Now!

Brian Yost: Master Of Music

What's that crappy music? Well, ask Brian, (also known as "g" in the band) because he made it. While Jimmy writes the lyrics for a song, Brian sits and works out music for the song. He does have an occasional lyrical spotlight (as is "Stuff That Sucks") and he has tried his hand at writing a few songs (even though he hates all the ones he wrote).

Brian thinks that these are the songs

he has done the best music for:
~Wouldn't This Make A Cool Ride?
~Fiona Apple...
~Outta Whack
~Stuff That Sucks

~two even smaller tape-players

    (used mostly for rewinding and short crappy recordings)

    (with agogo bells, cowbell, and double-bass pedals...also  with hi-hat, ride, crash, and splash cymbals)

     (found in"Jail In Mexico" on "white Ox")

~Yamaha and Casio stereo output keyboards

~a little 25 key keyboard

    (it's so old and cheap, it has to rev up when you turn it on)
