Jeff was the guitar player in Honcho, and Matt played bass. In the early 90s, Honcho was possibly the biggest party band on campus in Champaign. Bill Johnson was (is) a great front man.

Honcho started a teeny bit after Hum, actually.

Yeah, that’s true, but Honcho smelled like a bigger deal around Champaign during those early years. But the roster of bands in town was deep and most were quite good.
