Tee was born, on location, in the mid to late 20^th Century. His interests are staring for extended periods at shiny things (often the sun), and collecting various forms of lint for showing off at parties.

Tee authored the saying, "Would you like fries with that", and enjoys long walks on the beach with his invisible dog, Fidon't.

Tee was the lead vocalist of the New York/New Jersey based "Real Live Girl" (that one’s true), and invented the Walkman (that’s not).

Tee invites you to enjoy the sights and sounds of "Afraid of Figs", which he predicts will, in short order, become your favorite dried fruit related band.

Rainbow has had the blessing/curse of being a musician since he was six years old. Being literate and concious, he has spent his life wandering the peaks and valleys of a diverse musical topography. He is overjoyed to discover he has overcome his fig fear and that his bass fig fits the Fig family.

His other interests include hurtling down snow covered mountains at breakneck speeds, immersing himself in large bodies of water while trying to stay afloat and scaring Seattle pedestrians with his mountain bike. He also has a penchant for smiling dogs, processed sugar, and men in dress slacks.

Chris has been making funny noises on saxes of various flavors and sizes for the past 10 years, taking a 5 year hiatus to enjoy school, earn his engineering degree, and make ridiculous college mock-u-mentaries. His passions include ultimate frisbee, ultimate freestyle walking and anything that is ultimately remarkable, like thinking about executing a manly stunt.

His true musical drive comes from adding color with both sax and backup vocals while finding a way to make the inconsequential seem important and to give the silly meaning. He aspires to have 1/5th of the musical success and impact as bands like Cake, P.U.S.A and Tenacious D, and ironicially:

The inverse proportion of this aspiring success period = C-Figs favorite number,

...or in decimal form

.200 A.S.P.* 25 units = 5 = C-Figs favorite number.

Chris is still working on a truncated theorem to publish these findings, patent pending. He owes all his success and zaniness to his beloved wife, family and friends who impact him with positive reinforcement each and every day, which he tries to exude in spades.

The Irish - Mexican who will never turn down a good bean dip and cold beer is the newest and youngest member of the fig family. Playing multiple instruments since a young age: clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, guitar, bass, and drums, he bacame fond of writing, composing and recording original music. Being in original bands since the age of 17, his love for perfoming has surpassed any other activity the world could offer. He hopes the fruit of AOF's labor will allow him to meet great people, see the world and retire to Abu Dhabi in a private jet....... or at least stow away in an overhead compartment.

Born and bred in New York, E.J. made the move to Seattle in 2002 to pursue his studies in Oriental medicine, philosophy martial arts and his passion for music. Not content with the ordinary and predictable, he enjoys blurring the lines between student/teacher, lover/fighter, nice guy/bad boy, and fitness freak/party animal. He hopes that AOF will become the new LOL and reminds you that in the free fall of life, your mind is your parachute. So don't wait too long to open it, or things may get messy.
