About Me

The Story: The three members met in the country of Noocherookistan while working as mercenaries for the left wing Noocherookistanian faction during that country's civil war (Nov. 4-6, 1967).After the war they parted ways only to reunite 2 years later in a barroom brawl. St.Clair, in a drunken stupor, accidently fell off his bar stool and stumbled into "Stone Cold" Steve Austin of pro-wrestling fame. After a rather well done suplex and a pile driver onto the bar his two pals rushed in to save him - after finishing their beers. They now have Steve Austin's head stuffed and over the mantle at thier Beverly Hills mansion.Following the Austin incident, they decided to form a band. Having no instuments, piracy on the high seas was their only option. The three buccaneers looted and pilaged the oceans and coasts of the world until they had enough money to finance their musical venture.The rest? It's unfolding as we speak...The Truth:
Long story short - All 3 members are graphic designers and have known each other for a long time. They are veterans of the local music scene and have played with numerous groups around the area who all cried when they left. After discussing playing together for a long time, they finally got around to buying some new instuments (except for Tommey, who never got rid of his.) They played, they rocked, now they are out to rock you.
