Where Are They Now? Spring Heeled Jack
Proably CT's most succesful ska band SHJ! Wanna know what they're doing now?
Chris Rhodes has been playing with the Bosstones since the summer time. He did the Warped Tour and managed to tour Europe for the first time. He's seems to be having a great time.
(Re)Pete Wasilewski is now a member of Less Than Jake. He's gotten to play Europe already as well as opening for Bon Jovi's last big stadium tour.
Dave Karcich is a permanent part of the new Pilfers lineup and from the sound of it, the Pilfers are making another big change. I haven't seen any recent shows but it seems that they are a bit different than you may have remembered them. From what I'm hearing, Vinnie is now the lead singer with Coolie doing backups. I have yet to check them out. I believe Dave is next in line to hit Europe since the Pilfers are on their way there soon.
Ron Ragona has a new band called the Lost City Angels and their website can be found at Welcome to the Lost City Angels Website . Check it out. DO NOT expect a SHJ sound alike. They're great all the same though.
Tyler Jones, Mike Pellegrino and Rick Omonte are all still dabbling in music but have nothing major planned. They're pretty much back to normal life in CT but everyone is doing well and they're still the same great guys they always were.
I can honestly say that there are NO planned reunion shows but there's always the talk that they would like to do another show or at least a "true" final show since Chris wasn't at the one they had. Sorry if that's bad news for everyone but I don't want you to set your hopes high on it especially since there was that rumor of them getting back together for Christmas of 2000 and that didn't happen.
