Josh
Josh Robins is the founding member of the Invincible Czars. He is also a regular contributing composer to the Golden Hornet Project and sits on the organization's board of directors. Josh has written or arranged most of the material the Invincible Czars perform.  He's also playing with Sweetmeat and The Jazz Bastards.  His favorite band in Austin is Opposite Day. His cat Bruno is named for the NoMeansNo song "Oh No! Bruno!". His beard is 9 months old at the time of this writing.


Adam Kahan has been a Czar for nearly six years, and sometimes plays the bass guitar in such other adventurous and exciting modern combos as the Jazzus Lizard, Churchwood, the Unprofitable Servants, and Golden Arm Trio.

Phil
Violinist Phil Davidson has been with the Czars since their first Nutcracker Suite, and joined the band full-time in spring 2007. He teaches violin and viola for a living and plays with Chanterelle Duo, the Old Holdouts, Mostly Dead, and Muppletone. Visit his site for more information.


Keyboardist Bill Petersen originally hails from sunny California. Bill wrote most of the Invincible Czars' score to Aelita in 2006 and spearheaded the writing of the score to Destiny in 2008. He has two cats named Lamar and Momo.  In March 2009, Bill suffered a massive heart attack and but has made a rather surprising recovery.

Leila
Woodwind player Leila Henley has been Czarina (AKA Queen of Czars) since August 2007. She is available for all your saxophoning needs in Saxophonic, a quartet also featuring local favorites Alex Coke, Paul Klemperer and Thomas van der Brook. She also occasionally performs Daniel Johnston covers with the Unprofitable Servants and gypsy/klezmer madness with the Minor Mishap Marching Band.
Louis Landry is the Czars' most recent drummer (joining in the summer of 2008) but is currently on semi-hiatus with the group due to his touring schedule with Charlie Robison for whom he plays piano and accordion. Louie has been playing drums since age 7 and holds a B.A. in Jazz Performance from Virginia Commonwealth University. Louis teaches drums, piano, guitar and theory at Red Leaf School of Music in South Austin (Want to take a lesson?).  He also sings and writes songs which can be heard at www.LLmusic.net. His primary musical influences are all the sounds he has ever heard.
