Brenda used to be in the seminole celtic rock band "Hiring Fair" along with BAMmers Seth Lesselbaum, Shawn Richards, and Rent-a-Beat. No, that's not a typo. Hiring Fair was huge with south Florida's Native American population.
One morning - somewhere between 1993 and 2004 - she awoke in a bathtub in Key West, surrounded by Stevie Nicks impersonators who also happened to be former US Marines. It was at that moment she knew she had to retire. Exit Brenda stage left. She didn't even make it as far as the green room.
At her retirement party, Seth presented her with her previous 10 years' bar tab. She is now webmastering and dj-ing her ass off to settle the debt. However, it's not without it's perks being Seth's indentured servent. She alone knows the codes to everything, and if she wants to put Queensryche into heavy rotation, she will, dammit. And we know Scott won't argue...

Sarah is BAM Radio's Sound Engineer. Think of "Roz" from the TV show "Frasier"... but way drunker. That's Sarah! She also handles the technical and administrative side of the BAM website. Of course, you may have noticed Sarah's last name and wondered if she's related to a certain BAMmer. Well, duh! She and Rent-a-Beat are cousins! How do you think she got roped into this job? Sarah also started her career with Hiring Fair. Her first 5 years on the job she needed a fake ID just to get into pubs. Older band members teased her, but secretly everyone was jealous. It's not like they were in danger of being mistaken for college students!
One morning - somewhere between 1993 and 2004 - she awoke in a bathtub in Key West, surrounded by Stevie Nicks impersonators who also happened to be former US Marines. Yes, we know that's what happened to DJ Brenda. Good lord, people, have you ever been to Key West? You call it "crazy". We called it "October".
Now Sarah spends her days explaining to Seth that "mp3Pro" is not the gay - er, gold - robot from Star Wars. Her nights she spends silently praying that global warming kicks into high gear pronto, so she can spend more time north of the equator.
