- Nathan Bethell (vocals)
- Jim Gill (rhythm guitar)
- Ben Kulp (bass)
- Eric Pietras (keyboards)
- Ryan Williams (lead guitar)
- Joel Bradshaw (drums for live shows)

This Many Boyfriends Club[edit]
This Many Boyfriends Club took their name from the title of the last song on Beat Happening's 1988 release Jamboree. Their most infamous concert ocurred at The Writing House, where they opened for the duo aurAl PleasurE. The show is notable primarily for the fight that broke out during the final song of aurAl PleasurE's set, Paranoid, a Black Sabbath cover. Kieran McCarthy and Wayne Wilson scrapped after the first verse while Ryan England and special guests Ben Kulp (bass) Jim Gill (trumpet) and Joel Bradshaw (drums) continued to play.
Two songs recorded at the Writing House concert, "Untranslatable Ritual Chant" and "Player's Handbook", appear on The Scene Is Knox, as well as a third (studio) song, "Flunk Day", credited to The Friars (see below).
The Friars[edit]
Under the pseudonym The Friars, This Many Boyfriends Club recorded "Flunk Day", which one may also hear on The Scene Is Knox. The members of This Many Boyfriends Club would later record a polished studio version of Flunk Day in 2001, again released under The Friars pseudonym.
The Love Bees[edit]
Bethell departed the band in November 1999, and after much debating they renamed themselves The Love Bees (a name taken from the spoken-word section of Half Japanese's "Calling all Girls"); one can hear on The Scene Is Knox two of this band's songs, "I Hate My Generation" and "Leper Moon".
The Love Bees played only two shows: one at The Writing House and one in the Gizmo; the Union Board sponsored the Gizmo show. When the Gizmo show went poorly, the band blamed the poor performance on the lack of a soundcheck.
