TRUMANS WATER

of all noises, music is the least disagreeable

About Me

It's a long, long story... Been going since feb '92 where we injured ourselves at the Texas Teahouse in San Diego, Ca. Said venue became the first and only club to ban trumans... Been going downhill ever since. Buy me a few beers, find a comfortable couch, nestle yourself in, and I'll tell you all about it... As of now, I can't be bothered. Wait I got it! Eureka! 100 part miniseries/blog coming soon to a myspace page near you. First installment: "The Noise Begins" Look for it.
