and Guest Musicians

This group was put together for fun.  “The Slightly Smashed Pumpkins”, consisted of employees of the No.#1 Country station in the northwest, KMPS AM/FM Seattle.
That's right, this group consisted of disc jockeys, producers & engineers, playing mainly classic rock. What can we say, they could really pack a house – that would be Bryan's house.

The first year saw guest vocalist Greg Thunder, of KMPS’s Greg Thunder & the Waking Crew.

Though most of these guys have moved on too different walks of life, they are re-uniting, for a Huge Halloween Bash (Oct. 2003) and who knows.

At the moment, The Slightly Smashed Pumpkins still resurrects every Halloween for fun.  Currently with orginal members Bryan Nelson & Gary Hoskins and for the past couple years on drums Jim Hyatt.  The Pumpkins - also resurrects other ghouls, to sit in with the band.
