Before:
Some ETs came to Earth. No UFO sighting though. Been seen at a KFC for dinner. Took some leftover chicken to their planet. Skin and bones mainly. Threw them back to Earth after some experiments. Grew up to be a humanoid. A nice couple called for adoption. Named him Taylor. Bought him a guitar to while away the time. Demonstrated some abilities. Turning 21 kid built a magic wound. It gave life. Used it on a mannequin in H&M store in Madrid. Mannequin came to life. New-being borrowed Taylor's guitar. Demonstrated some abilities. Both started a band. Recruited mexican bass player to produce fat sounds. Had a nice bass smuggled from El Paso, TX. Remembered an old school mate who played drums. Old-school drumming too. Cheated him to join the band. Accepted. Recorded some tapes. Weak sound. Decided to spend real money. Recorded 12 songs and a couple extras. This was June 2006.
Now:
Bass player left to Juarez. New stylish bass player was found. Signed a contract with a label: Junk Records. Record needed a name, Twistin' & Gone this is. Got it in the stores around october 2007. Few launch shows. Scarce media attention: some rave reviews, some exact replicas from the promotion sheet, some nonsense. Drummer had a shoulder injury falling into a garage pit. Seriously. In the meantime a piano player with a feeling for the blues joined the band. Tried to arrange a sort of a mini Spring tour in 2008. You can never hold back Spring, says Tom. Moving slow forward ever after. Restless...
