What do you get when you have a software engineer at a laser company, a professor of mathematics (topology), a manager at a gunshot location company, and one who fixes the machines that provide caffeine to all of the Bay Area? I know you all hope that we made a laser that targets people firing guns at other people, vaporizing them and leaving only premium Kona grounds. However, instead, this particular science project is known as the Ballistic Cats and they rock, in the traditional sense.

By night, the Ballistic Cats creep out into the alleyways and sandboxes of the California- from the Silicon Valley to the Central Coast, they prowl. By day, the band members lead the lives of (somewhat) well-mannered professionals. Don't be fooled into thinking things will remain that way. Some day soon, the Ballistic Cats will shed their human forms, sleep during the day and play all night long. Greg Provencio By day, Greg fixes the gadgets that feed the Bay Area caffeine addiction. At night, he dreams of an old Gibson Acoustic Southern Jumbo and sending Mikey, Sophie, and Jake to college. Oh, and he sings. That is a huge understatement. Matthew White On a Gretsch Nashville, Matthew enjoys playing fast and loud. His amp doesn't sound good below 9.5. In his other life, Matthew has a PhD in Mathematics (Topology) and teaches at CalPoly SLO. Lisa Burns By day, Lisa plays bluegrass (scary but true). Sometimes, she herds cats to fight crime. When there is rock to be had, she plays a Fender J Bass. When there is more billy than rock, she plays an Azola electric upright bass (also may be used in times of flooding). Christopher White By day, Christopher writes code to make people look younger. By night, Stoneymonster plays a DW trap set. His hero is Neil Peart so he is in charge of the gear. Ask him to play Mr. Hi-hat.
