[edit] Background

Borucki, Broussard, and Vieu formed the original lineup of the group, along with the original drummer, Paul. The latter's inconsistent behavior and lack of commitment cut his time in the band.

The three remaining founding members of the band played a show with Crouse, debuting new material, and following months led to Mike Martin taking over lead vocal duties. The new lineup was exhibited in a Battle of the Bands, and solidified after a positive reaction from the crowd.

The Smokey Wambas went on to open for with nationally recognized acts such as Folly, the Arrogant Sons of Bitches, Big D and the Kids Table, Kicked in the Head, Jimmy's Chicken Shack, Agent Orange, and the Misfits. Further plans include the release of a full-length LP, touring in the western Massachusetts area, and further touring the East Coast.
