About Me

the band started with two drunken friends, who finally figured out how to play their instruments some what. our music is sort of strange, heavy and ugly. its music we want to hear. we've played several live shows, we come with full force every time we play. we have about 50 original tunes and several covers which would sound like originals to most if they didn't know any better. we are dirt poor, all the music on here is recorded from our live shows we can't afford to record an actual album. this bio shit is kind of silly, if anyone has any questions e-mail me. any band who wants us to open for them keep us in mind. please down load this music and give it to every one you know, eventually we will have a web site, and i can put whole shows on at a time, which will also be free, we just want to play and let every one hear the music, it speaks for itself. we mean everything we say even when we don't mean it, life's a joke and so are we. over and out. the birds are the fish of the sky, and rock and roll is religion.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
