The two also play in an instrumental collaboration by the name of Davy. Davy will also be releasing a new long awaited album soon.
 
Steven has had the privilage for many well known bands and song writers while keeping his hands dirty over the years with such musical projects as: Francis H., They who shall not be reckoned with, and steven drew poeling & the jay Rs.
Melanie also was a member of "They who shall not be reckoned with" and fox fifty five.
