The group is currently a power trio, consisting of Rev. Tim (bass, lead vocals, most words), Mutha Superior G (guitar, vocals), and Brother Lazarus (drums, vocals).

In 2007, Montreal musician Robbie Tucker returned to the stage following a two year hiatus; the result of a 2005 Parkinson's disease diagnosis.

It is this level of commitment that has allowed him to continually achieve his goals.
