Monkey in a Labcoat

MLC (Monkey in a Lab Coat) started out as a joke between bassist Derek and drummer Ant. They were in school looking at a worksheet their science teacher handed out and it showed a man in a lab coat's hand holding a test tube. Ant pointed out how hairy the man's hand was to Derek and they both agreed it looked like a monkey in a lab coat holding a beaker. They thought it sounded like a cool song name and decided one day they would write a song about a monkey in a lab coat. Over a year later they finally decided to start writing the song, and make a joke-around band with two bassist. Soon after they decided that not only should the song name also be the band name, but that it shouldnt be a joking band, it should be old school punk. Then one day after one of Ant's other bands, Dilfig, had a practice Ant sat down on the drums and started playing while their guitarist Willie was still there. Ant turned out to be a really good drummer and they decided they should make a band with Ant as the drummer and Willie as the guitarist. They decided to ask Derek to be the bassist and when Willie told Derek about the idea Derek mentioned how Ant and him were starting a band called MLC anyway. So they fused the two together and started having practice. Soon after, they decided that they should have a second guitarist. Willie and Ant thought that Kyle Wilkerson, who was originally going to be the guitarist when MLC was just Ant and Derek, should join as the 2nd guitarist. Kyle agreed. But this glory was short lived when Ant became increasingly dedicated to Losing Focus (his other band) and it became apparent after many tries of to fix things that Willie and Derek we're going to have to do something about this, leading to Ants removal from MLC. But even more unfortunate, when Derek confronted Kyle about switching to the drummer until we found another member, Kyle informed him that he too was going to have to quit due to other bands and scheduling. Sooo then there was two.. Derek and Willie continued to practice but it was getting hard to establish songs without a drummer. But it seems that in out of the disaster came light when Ant rejoined as drummer and we have now continued our pursuate in dominting the world...This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5
