In Singer and front woman Colleen Caffienes own words: "Just like a 50 year old hooker, choking susan has had plenty of members in and out but we've kept ourselves raw and inspiring!" Choking susan are a 4 piece band, whose drummer seems to be new every month or so. Choking susan have played all over the USA, Canada and soon to hit the UK in August of 2007. Colleen isn't a huge fan of labels, but excepts the "punk' tag for the band.
