...Don't let his cherubic visage and his bottomless supply of charm fool you, MERLIN ARMSTRONG is no mere pretty face, he is the uber-producer, the musical chameleon, the street-smart-kid with a soft touch at the mixing board and an exacting personality that can leave one scarred for life, secure in one's place in the world, or just wondering what he'll come up with next. "Someone once asked me if I was an 'old-soul.' Unsure what to make of the question, I wrote a song about the Japanesse, which is an answer of sorts, I suppose." That it is, Merlin, that it is. Just keep those hits comin', and we'll agree with anything you say, cos' you th' man!.........
RUSTY MUSTACHOVITCH lays it down, straight and true, just for you, baby; all-righteous. Ain't NOBODY gonna mess wif my boy-o, cause ain't no-one wants to live without the dulcet tones of his instument of choice, Thee Phive Strang Biz-ass, biz-aby! Born out of the eruption of Krackatoa and nursed from the teet of all melody, Rusty prefers diced carrots in his rice.........
Generaly known as the second most handsome man in the world, KENNY SKROCKI studied rock under the tutelage of his mentor and brother, the world-famous Right-Rock Reverend Dominic B. Skrocki. "My brother basicaly saved me. People don't realize how lonely life can become when you're as incredibly good looking as I am; I felt as though I couldn't relate, and I fell prey to the usual excesses; I was living in an emotional hell, though I was still quite beautiful." The Reverend taught Kenny to channel the enormous energy that comes with incredible good looks into the most soulful of rock'n'roll. So Kenny studiously laboured until he finaly met three individuals whose wonderful looks and musical ability matched his own; and thus were the Handsome Ones born.........
From a long line of geneticists, NOEL SKROCKI needs no introduction, however, (or, 'sinembargo,' in his adopted language, which he doesn't understand), introductions gush forth, hence his brief yet storied stint as anti-ambassador to the second coming of the League of Nations. Senslessness is second nature to this 'percussionisto,' this founding member, nee, enacting process of the Handsome Ones, and that is exactly what keeps him behind the trap set, keeping it as simple as processable. No nationality can define him, nor would want to, but don't let that stop you from trying to categorizing him; hey, that's what people do. All you need to know is that he is handsome, and, consequentialy, and of course, by logical inference, a Handsome One...

Sounds Like: You know, people tell us we sound like..., and usually we just don't understand the comparison. "Tom Waits fronting Three Dog Night?" "Gil Scott-Heron fronting the Volcano Suns?" Maybe, maybe not. We play around with several genres, so 'subjective accuracy' may account for the disparity of opinions, so who knows? No-one, that's who. "Frank Zappa fronting Funkadelic?" "Herny Rollins fronting Primus?"...
