Did you know that J.R. goes to school for music?

About Me

We all went to high school together. ¾’s of us officially started playing under the name the nix in December of '98. Andrew Joined the band in '99 I think. We kicked Tony out for a while because he was hanging out with a bunch of Catholic Priests. Maybe he was just spending time with his girlfriend instead of coming to band practice, I forget. Whatever it was, he stopped doing it and our replacement drummer, Derek was abducted by Indians, dah, I'm sorry, I mean Native Americans, and we let Tony back in the band. That or Derek was just to busy between school, work, and 2 other bands. No, no, I think it must have been the Indian thing... or was it? We are well known for the huge growth on Andrew's left shoulder-wait, no, that can't be right. I think we are known for intense, loud, violent live performances, in which we tend to break a lot of our own instruments and band members.No, maybe it's the live performances AND the growth. That'd make sense. Brian's know for doing more drugs that Keith Richards of the Stones, or is he just known snorting coke off Keith Richards' butt. That's a lie, but honestly, we did get Tony to snort whipped cream one time. Dude J.R. is a really good guitar player. No, seriously he is. He like, goes to school for music and stuff. Some of our live preformances have included light sabers, a pinyata filled with condoms, t-shirts spelling out bad words, safety lessons about burning buildings, pornographic magazines, and the theme song from 'Team America, world Police. I need to lay off the coke. Vanilla Coke that is. Oh yeah, we will kill cute animals if you don't come to our shows.

The show was pretty badass. We played well, and broke a bunch of stuff (all our own stuff) at the end of the set. Actually, I don't think we did any damage that can't be repaired, but I haven't unlo...
