When three strong willed musicians crossed paths in 2004 they gathered that they all shared the same love for music and hunger to succeed. Ultimately, they united forming a power trio on a mission: "to give the people what they need" and that is Casual Confusion. Since then, Casual Confusion has been playing local musical landmarks honing their live show poise; resulting in a stage presence worthy of an invite to headline for local favorite White Light Riot's CD release party in November of 2005.

Casual Confusion's members are all natives of Minneapolis beginning with Colin Hodges, an explosive triple threat; writing, singing, and playing guitar on all tracks. With every song Colin has the ability to create a new and fresh sound because of his always evolving lyrics, delivery, and execution style. As the son of legendary "Johnny Hodges" who played with the top artists on the Motown Label in its hay day. (Temptations, Marvin Gaye, currently with The Spinners) Colin explains, He is partially responsible for my musical style and the diversity of my influences from Hendrix to Herbie Hancock. Colin's versatility cannot be overlooked!

As a resident of the drums for more than ten years and student of music for life, Zach Dennison delivers creative concepts that serve as the platform for Casual Confusion to craft its sound. Zach established himself as an expert musician at a young age developing a precise ear for rhythm and musical form making him a driving force for Casual Confusion. Influenced from, The Church to Keith Moon, "Zach is the rhythm and flow creator or leader for us; his choice of the beat is our inspiration," expressed Hodges. His timing, creative fills, and variety of range molds our sound.

The bassist is Mike Hayostek (Haddy), is in charge of bringing the funk to the table. Haddy possesses a flexibility allowing him to play the subdued role and the next moment a stand out role making him more recognizable. Haddy is comfortable wearing either hat. All in all, with the right amount of each ingredient, Casual Confusion's finished product is Gourmet Music.
