About Me

Ed was born not of this earth, Boof was born naked, Yousef was born funky, and Beau was born on the 10th. Yousef and Ed go back to the old days of cobble stone streets and elementary school. Beau met up with Ed and Yousef right as a rock was thrown through a window by the infamous Allen in the art class taught by a horse. The horse's name was and still is Phyllis. Boof was shot out of a cannon into the arms of Ed as he was walking down the street humming. Really, nobody knows where Boof came from. Ohio? Denver? Sears? Your guess is as good as ours. Everybody was doing their own thing until a light bulb flickered on in the basement and we decided to combine our separate musical abilities into one super power that is.....THE DEAD WESTERNS!
