Pontiac Streator

I think it's about time that we come clean......



(inhale)..........(exhale)........



Long before Arsenal of Fools, there was a string of bands that strung along hits like cotton candy at the county fair. Too Shaves, The Company, The Fabulists, Standpipe Inhalants, Crooked Wire, Pontiac Streator, Gander Mountain, and maybe a few more i can't currently remember. These bands, while separate in their own write (see how I did that?), were very much an integral piece of the Arsenal's arsenal.



While most of them originated along a particularly fertile section of HWY 55, between Springfield and Bloomington, IL, all of them are still close to our hearts.



So, here's to you, Side Project!
