Andrew “Andj” Stainer — Guitar. Andj began playing classical guitar as a 6-years-old, but as he grew, the lure of rock and roll proved to be too strong to avoid. During the 1980s, he formed the group, Wax Poetic with Treading Lemmings bandmate Christopher Quinn. The group morphed into a female-fronted prog-rock band later to be known as Arc of Ones. The group had the pleasure of opening for bands such as Living Colour and The Godfathers. They recorded a CD with rock mainstay John Palumbo of Crack the Sky. The CD received airplay on college radio before the group broke up in the early 1990s. Before reuniting with The Treading Lemmings, Andj played in the classical guitar duo Guitars of Romance, with his Peabody Conservatory prep-trained wife, Maria Stainer.

Mr. Marc — Fender Bass. In college he began an all-originals power-pop/rock band called *Batteries Not Included, which played fine establishments including CBGB’s, the Stone Pony and the Waiting Room in Rahway, N.J. When BNI broke up, Mr. Marc turned 180 degrees musically and began playing bass in The Girlettes, a 1960s “girl-group” cover band. He returned to his rocking ways in Corporate America, where he went from full-time bass player and part-time vocalist to full-time bassist/lead vocalist. Job changes marked a return to the D.C. area, and after a couple of failed stops and starts with other bands, he joined the modern rock band Zero Discipline and most recently The Treading Lemmings.
