Jelden, born Christopher Sean Jelden, spent the first 12 years of his life moving around in a navy family and having little interest in music. He listened to his mother's favorites Steve Miller Band and Eagles. Some of his former favorite songs were Lean On Me, Joker, and the timeless Sinead O'Conner song Nothing Compares to you. Then around 12 he began to take interest in music and gave a couple different genres a listen. In 8th grade Jelden began playing his stepfathers acoustic (not knowing a single chord and thinking that just strumming it differently was a perfectly acceptable way to write a song). It wouldn't be another two years till he took the intro to guitar class at his school and learned the basics. Through this time Jelden, his good amigo burns and one Zack formed a "band". This band, in which Jelden played guitar, burns played drums and zack sang consisted of playing only 2 songs. A Korn Cover and Louie Louie. That soon fell apart. Also at this time Jelden jammed on Burn's drums from time to time and steadly got better. Christmas of 2000 Jelden acquired Burn's old drums when he opted for a bigger and better set. A few months later along with Josh Feicht, Jelden concieved the idea for Con Seanery. Con Seanery would be a collaboration of people playing different covers. There were 3 line ups. One was Jelden on drums, Marc Bryan on guitar, Mat O'Grady, and Zack on vocals. They played 2 Nirvana Covers and My Sharona. But the premiere line up was Jelden on guitar and vocals, Tilley on Bass, Josh Feicht on guitar and finally Eric Kendell on the drums. There were two performances, once at the holdridge home and once downtown. Jelden then decided to put Con Seanery to rest. From there Jelden and Tilley decided to start another band. From there Yellin Keller was born.

Tilley Jayne Roccon was born Sept 26th, 1985 in McKinney, Texas, and moved around with her family until about the age of 10 when they finally decided to live permanently in Mystic, CT. Up until the age of 14 she had little to no taste in music and prefered to listen to the Beatles, however, there were the ocasional, yet futile, attempts to listen to anything other than what was inflicted on her by the parents. For example, for her 6th grade birthday- she asked fr an oasis cd, only to recive one from the backstreet boys and the question, who ARE the backstreet boys? She denied the backstreet boys and kept listening to classic radio and jazz, and despite widespread dissaproval, she is still a monkees fan. She was first introduced to the wonders of jazz bass in an 8th grade music class, and after a year of debating with her parents over weither or not playing bass would turn her into a drug dealing dreamer, she was able to buy "bass" a peavey milestone III. Throughout her monotonous high school experiences, she has been in several "bands" and played with several differrent people, including those from Con Seanery and the Anal Bum Cover Tour 2000. She also plays guitar and has a pet rat named Bebo.
