Wayne Fishell first picked up a guitar at 8, and was classically trained for 5 years. He hated to practice and has forgotten it all. He thanks his parents for paying for that. He is the titular leader of the wayne fishell experiment, does all of the musical composition of the songs, and writes most of the lyrics.
He was the quintessential chorus and drama queen in high school, and took countless voice lessons. A recovering Catholic, Wayne played in folk groups at two different churches through high school and college. Shout out to St. Maria Grotti! He's been a professional ice cream maker, a seafood buffet slinger, the owner of an upscale (mostly) house cleaning service, and the best damned administrative assistant this side of the Mississippi.
Wayne appeared on the Atlanta music scene in April 2002 with his solo release going down, with which he introduced gay-acoustic-indie-folk-pop to the world, and has played at numerous gay pride festivals, bookstores, and clubs in the Southeast.
He currently lives in Decatur, Georgia with his boyfriend, the artist Marco.
Just for grins, here's a copy of Wayne's 7th Grade photo. It's a precious gem.
Keith Miller (aka big.peaches) began playing drums at age 10. He's been beating on things ever since. His use of traditional drums mixed with machines and found objects creates the wayne fishell experiment's unconventional beat.
He formed a synth-dance duo in NYC in the mid-80's called boy next door. Keith also has performed, produced, directed and written for and in nightclubs, theater, radio, television and film for over 30 years. His writing credits for the stage include, in Seattle: Beyond The Invasion of the Bee Girls, staged by House of Dames and directed by Nikki Appino. In New York: Testing The Water, Heart & Soul, Good Sense and the cabaret musical Men In America: The Millennium Approaches. He wrote and performed stand-up comedy in NYC clubs and was a contributing reporter for Outweek magazine.
Keith lived in Los Angeles for 9 years where he wrote several unproduced screenplays, took numerous and productive meetings, and got a lot of therapy.
He currently lives in Decatur, Georgia.
