What is now "the wet spots" includes: Mark-Vox,Blair-Guitar,Mike-Drums and Marcus-Bass. Everyone except for Mike was previously in a band called "the accidents". They, however, lost their drummer and ultimately hooked up with Mike who is currently drumming with them under the new name "the wet spots". Mike (aka Mike Rugg, Jalopy Johnson, Muddy Bismuth, Johnny "WhiteJacket" Jones, etc.) was formerly with "Pootinanny" and before that "Rugg City" former rockin' punk acts from Peoria,IL. Before "the wet spots", Mark was in a band called "the Factory" which was a gothic/punk type band around in the early to mid 90's. Mark will forever be remember in the Peoria music scene for his failed stage diving attempt during a "Factory" show at the Madison theatre which landed him in the hospital with a concussion and ended punk rock shows at the Madison for quite some time(he has since learned his lesson...we think!). All of the members were friends or acquaintences (which means we most likely hung out drinking somewhere at one point) prior to getting togetheras "the wet spots". Which is a good thing cause it's not easy to find four guys who have similar musical interests AND can actually play an instrument these days! So, there ya have it. Currently there are no releases by "the wet spots" however, we are hitting the studio the last weekend in June. There is a tour in the works for August, and a mini tour in early July looks to be getting the axe for now. But, just keep your eyes peeled for updates and new info here on the site or in your favorite punk rock 'zine!

UPDATE: We come to find out that Mark had NOT learned his lesson and, was still basically fucked up. Not only has he tried to fuck with every 16 year old girl that we came across, he also got on the last nerve of us and most everyone else. Prior to us kicking him out, he quit. But, before all that, he managed to scare most females on the tour, get us thrown out of one club and not welcome (with him) at another. Also, freaked out and had a "fit of rage" while on tour kicking over a garbage can and whatnot..yadda yadda. And, after all that, quitting..etc. He continued to harrass us, especially Blair, to the point where he (Blair) was roped into a fight and busted Mark in the eye...Mark got the cops and had Blair arrested even though it was Mark that has been harrassing Blair all along and caused him to go off. Well, that's the skinny..things are up in the air. But, we're still goin..and...if Blair don't have to go to jail..we'll be playing.
