Amy Hynek has beat on drums since elementary school. She plays in Creighton University's Pep Band in Omaha, NE where she is about to earn a Masters in Clinical Anatomy. Amy plays guitar, writes songs, mows lawns, and can even drive a semi.

Mandy Hynek arranges and vocalizes the harmonies, giving the band its unique sound. She is versatile, rotating on the bass and drums. Mandy's interest is in International Studies with a Spanish concentration.
