A long, long time ago in their mother's wombs, five fetuses decided that they would be in a band called Masters of the Microwave and so it began ...
First, they had to get out of the wombs. All of them succeeded, except for the harmonica player; but that's another story.
They led sheltered lives at first, spending their time playing in the sandbox at school with all the other non-conforming 5 year olds. At this point they had never met one another but all of them had felt a great longing to play music, and so they did. Jeff started on the fiddle. However, he moved on to learn the ways of the bass. Tyler began his percussion experiences with the washboard and spoons until he later got a drum set. Greg loved to play the bagpipe ... but this love was to be soon shot down at the realization that his playing resembled a dying bird. So he tried his luck at guitar. Corey picked up the guitar for the first time the day of the band's first practice and has been amazing ever since, due to his experience with the 16 string banjo. The band's singer, Mike had no tongue and so he could not talk until the band payed for his operation. He realized he had an amazing voice.
Then came first grade, and the quintuple quickly established themselves as an up and coming band in the Denver metro area. Gaining a huge fan base including 7 kids from one classroom, they were soon the most badass kids around. The group split up for a short while to concentrate on their elementary studies; including long division, and the anatomy of the crawdad. At the start of the second grade school year, naptime was no longer a part of the curriculum. This absence of rest infuriated the band and the five argued about anything and everything for months. And so the band parted, going their separate ways, attending different schools.
6 years later: All five of the adolescent beings ended up attending Summit Ridge Middle School. Mike Ballard had focused his attention on new subjects, such as reggae and weed. Greg enjoyed mathematics and social studies while Jeff sat in his room for days at a time playing Halo. Corey discovered snowboarding and Tyler was dedicated to a hockey team. When confronted by one another, the five members recognized each other at once, but because of such differences in interest, they did not become friends once again. Middle school to these five young men turned out to be a joke, but they passed all their classes and moved onto Dakota Ridge High School.
As freshmen, three members of the group, (Corey, Tyler, and Jeff) decided to become companions once again and relive their wonderful childhood. Greg and Mike however, remained distant. It was this year that Tyler the drummer, met Dave Long. Dave was a new teacher at the school, but his true aspiriation was to be a local weatherman. He eventually met the rest of the band and hates them to this day, due to the groups restless antics.
As sophomore year began, so did the friendship and reunion of Greg with the rest of the band. The four hung out, viewing feature films and playing air hockey at the local arcade, but not once did they speak of the old memories of Motm. Two days before junior year, the four young men met up with a local keyboardist ... or so they thought. His name was Tom Calandriello and together, with Tom, Masters of the Microwave was reborn. Tom was much less comitted to the band than the rest, not even taking part in the High School's parade 6 months later, where the band had their very own float. The band had fair instrumental songs, but no vocalist, so they were considered more of a joke than a band.
The original band members soon found out that Tom would talk trash about the band, and as a result; Tom found himself on the curb with nowhere to go. He would soon try and get a job at Google, but would get rejected numerous times.
Just days later, the four band members approached Mike about rejoining the band. Mike was ecstatic and accepted immediately.
From then on, it was domination.
The band has now accumulated a nice following in Denver's thriving local music scene. With drivers, taggers, thugs, and hos all over the globe, the Masters of the Microwave are poised to take over the world.
