Bios:
Leslie Dishslayer is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist who has been performing in and around her hometown of Ottawa and on tour in North America for 10 years or so. She made her start playing shows in bike shops to crowds of bike messengers during her years as an Ottawa courier. While she is best known for her performances as an acoustic solo act, she recently began fronting the electric quartet, Them Dishslayers.

Leslie has worked extensively with the Ottawa women's rights community, including Take Back the Night, International Women's Day, and in bringing Ladyfest to Ottawa. She has also contributed to several independent Canadian films, both as a soundtrack performer and onscreen.

She has a sweet dog named Finnigan who could eat Casey in one bite.

Scott Terry (drums, widdily guitars, backup vocals) has played in 3 million bands in the Ottawa Area, as a drummer, guitarist, vocalist, and as bass player. He 's recently played along side Camp Radio, klovenhoofs, Chandeliers, The Fucking Machines, The Banditas, and Andrew Vincent and The Pirates. Scott is also closely tied to the Ottawa music scene as a co owner of Spaceman Music and has a rotti-dog named George.

Drew Allgoewer (bass) is a custom guitar and bass maker, and works at Spaceman Music along with Scott. He also does oddjob audio and design work for various local arts groups and projects. He has 2 cats, Mojo and Ratcha.

Dave Jackson (bonus widdily guitars) is the newest addition to Them Dishslayers, and has played with Spindrift, Red Pony, Rocktagon, Mig 20, and Anorak among others. I forgot to ask him if he has any pets.
