Peter Mynett: Peter was born, allegedly, in a deep-sea scuba diving accident. Until the age of three, he was completely amphibious, when luckily for him, a tractor slowly appeared over the horizon, driven by an old pizza delivery man and dragged him out of the depths of the sea into all of our consciousness as the gypsy redneck you see before you now... take a good look he's high on that telephone wire, shooting super 8 footage of your sister eating ice cream.

Patrick M'Gonigle :Currently attending Berkeley School of Music, this Victoria BC native began training in classical violin at the age of 6, and picked up the mandolin prior to Berkeley in 2009.

Over the past 3 year, Patrick has moved further into song writing, and can rarely...if ever...be seen not strumming his mandolin, or without both instruments in hand on route to a jam or show. Patrick M'Gonigle can be found performing with various bands across Canada and The US.

Ian Griffiths: Having spent years immersed in Spanish, Roma, and Italian cultures, Ian Griffiths successful brings spice and heat to TMO's music. One of the three original members of the band, Ian started by playing a toy accordion, but quickly moved on to the real thing. In a world where accordions are played by many, but understood by few, Ian has worked hard to bind classical accordion playing with experimental sounds, and alongside members of TMO works to place it within unexpected music. Ian's song writing is based on romanticized story telling....and pirates. Ian performs with a children s act “Captain Green Beard The Environmental Pirates” and plays regularly with “Amusette.” He can currently be found in Winlaw BC building a house on a trailer bed. We believe he thinks it will be portable...but no one is sure.....
