The members of Apocalypso at the time of recording the tape were:

Founder (Happy) Jeff Burdge, on vocals, guitar, and harmonicas. Jeff originally comes from the beaches of Southern California.

Dillon (Dillonater) Smith is the "native" Texan of the band. Dillon plays a beefy, flambouyant bass guitar, and doubles on harmony vocals.

John (Gatekeeper) Wilson heralds from the west coast of Florida. He creates the heartbeat of the band on congas, bongos, and percussion. He sings as well

A three member band that specialized in performing lively new interpretations of traditional and modern calypso, known as Soca Music. These music forms originate from the Caribbean Islands, Tobango and Trinidad. The band's emphasis was on rythmic, upbeat songs that compel any audience to "jump up" and participate! Most Listeners found themselves carried away by the beat; bouncing, smiling, and dancing, even if they didn't know how!

Their cassette, The Natives -R- Restless, is a must have! It consists of traditional, standard, and original music. Songs included are: Shango Na~igo; Zombie Jamboree; Stone Cold Dead; Island in the Sun; Growing Older, Not Up; Lemon Tree; Mary Anne; Matilda; Bimini; No Time Like Now; Yellow Bird; and The Criminal Kind.
