Some of the folks in Onion and what they're doing now:

Anthony Avildsen is one of the most amazing cartoonists in the world. He is dark, devious and amazingly funny. He was a drummer then and he's a bass player now. He writes catchy tunes that display his macabre world view.

Dan Mackenzie was the bassist and a singer songwriter for the band. He doesn't play primarily bass anymore, still, he's one of the best slap style players I've heard. These days he writes deft pop. He's got a suave love song thing going on. The words are sweet but the thoughts behind them are perhaps more shady. His melodies are pure sugar. I hear he's big in the Philippines.

Jon Feinberg is, probably, my single most important collaborator. This is, probably, why he drove me insane often. Insane enough to fire him from a band he was, probably, the best musician in (god I'm terrible, I better start making my character more sympathetic). He had his differences with me too, at the time (there that's better). Anyway, Jon went on to artistic and commercial success as drummer for They Might Be Giants. Jon and I got it back together in NY later on.

Jon played some guitar in Onion, and then smoked Anthony on drums when Anth came out to sing. Tracy Swope said it best when she said that Anth should have been the lead singer. That might have worked.
