I was a member of the follow-up band to Harlequin Mass, formed after HM's dissolution in Seattle, Stubborn Puppet.Stubborn Puppet was a band active in Seattle from 1980 through circa 1987. We played gigs with a few other Seattle bands like Visible Targets, The Attachments, and others I don't remember at the moment.
Carl Bennett, July 2010
Kevin Hay (guitar puppet) — Kevin is the youngest puppet and occasionally sleeps on a couch. His feet stick out under the blanket. He recently had a haircut.
Lyle Holdahl (keyboard puppet) — Lyle has played keyboards for the puppets about one month and has progressed remarkably well. He works in a bakery and occasionally pilfers food to bring home.
Nancy Kaye (vocals, keyboards) — Nancy has recently acquired a job in a health spa, and now never has time to practice. She likes to drive her little yellow car and drink beer.
Tom Dickens (drums) — Tom never wears shoes if he can help it! He has a lovely new girl friend so we hardly see him anymore cause they’re usually in the basement where all else fears to tread.
Carl Bennett (bass) — Carl knows a lot of trivia pertaining to movies. He has a small office where he goes to draw pictures. He has a crush on Ingrid Bergman.
