Karl Huenerberg - Guitar, Vocals //// Karl is a frog and cat lover from the land of Markesan, Wisconsin. He shares space with his wife Lee, AND -- two cats, three treefrogs, 1 skunk geko and fourteen fish (breathe). He comes from a pretty large family -- three older brothers, one older sister, one younger brother, one younger stepbrother, one younger stepsister, six nieces and three nephews. Now that's a family tree that could put a roadmap of Chicago to shame.
Karl notes his influences as being John Petrucci (Dream
Theater), Paul Gilbert (Racer X, Mister Big), Steve Vai (Frank Zappa, Whitesnake),
Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen, Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne), and the list goes on.
He spins any Dream Theater, most Green Day, and some Caroline Spine when he's
laying around the house (which is usually never -- riiiiiiiiight).
The drink of choice at this point would be Spotted Cow or Killians for beer, and Captain and Coke for a mixer. Against the best wishes of his wife, he spends a fair amount of time absorbing Adult Swim on Cartoon Network.
Scott Neary - Drums ////
Scott is originally from North Dakota, but has since migrated to a different
state of mind. He is
now a resident of Beaver Dam, and, incidentally,
knows nothing about beavers. He wreaks havoc on a quiet neighborhood with
his wife Samantha (Sam) and their two cats, Monroe and Charlie.
Scott also has a new passion to take up the majority of his time; his one year old daughter Sophia. She keeps the man of the house waiting on her, hand and foot.
Scott spends a great deal of his time in his backyard studio, as well as his job requires him to drive around the state for work. He plays a variety of equipment such as Tama, Zildjian, etc., and possesses skills in the recording and live sound arenas.
Norm Toennes - Vocals //// Norm is the latest addition to Avalanche Lilly, bringing many years of vocal experience to the band. He's got some history in the Princeton area, but currently resides in Oshkosh with his wife Rene.
He
knows Karl from way back, and when we heard that his
status was changing to "available", we had to get him.
He brings a chilling rendition of Seven Mary Three, as
well as Jet and Shinedown, among others.
Marc Sonnenberg - Bass, Vocals
////
Marc is a hardcore native of Ripon ("don't knock my town, man."); he currently
resides there with his girlfiend Lynn, his
daughters Stephanie and Jennifer, and Lynn's sons Scott and Andy. Andy is
quite a musician of his own; winning a battle of the bands at his high school,
as well as constantly pursuing musical knowledge. Captain and Diet Coke,
as well as Lite Beer, are the current
drinks of choice. Fire pits, walkin'
the dog (literally), and some "unmentionable" activities would be the things he
loves to do the most. He also attempts to keep the band website
as current
as possible.
Marc likes to listen to the current stuff -- Three Days Grace, Sevendust, Foo Fighters, Chevelle, Slipknot, etc. -- as well as the stuff that turned him on originally -- Van Halen, Dream Theater, Metallica, and the like.
