A long time ago, two friends met in a dark, dank garage and proceeded to imbibe malt, barley and hops. During this process, the two began to discuss their various conquests and both became quite drunk. You see, one of these friends (Erik), once had the pleasure of forming and writing all the music for a little known band called COMPOUND. The other friend (TIM), had been instrumental in the formation of his brainchild, known quite literally as Johnny Turd and The Commodes. While Erik was in the band COMPOUND, he met Mike, who would eventually become the backbone of the band. Mike had Extra Sensory Perception (ESP), and foresaw everything that would forecome with COMPOUND. He knew three weeks ahead of time that the drummer (Chubbs McManbutter) would secretly leave the band to bed down Prick Fagsteed and inseminate him. Mike also predicted that the band would eventually fall apart, but only after they had been involved with the opening ceremonies of the Special Olympics. Mike was wrong on that prediction. COMPOUND never got their shot at rock and roll superstardom. They laid dormant at the bottom of the sea of Las Vegas bands. Johnny Turd and the Commodes attempted a foray into obscurity and found much success. All three friends began to discuss how they, as a three piece, could be a productive band. They realized that with just a vocalist, guitarist and bassist, they essentially had no heart. Someone to bring a slight bit of order to all the chaos that they perceived as "music." One dark evening, Mike called the band into order. He had a premonition. A foresahadowing that involved a jackhammer, a xylophone and a clap of god-fearing thunder. He titled this vision, "Rian." As luck would have it, a gentleman had just been introduced into the fold with Tim and Erik. This gentleman's name was, Brian. Tim and Erik realized immediately that Mike's ESP had been slightly retarded but somewhat accurate. It just so happened that Brian was a keen purveyor of thunderous beats and was currently wasting his ablities away with a cover band that covered Weird Al Yankovic's cover songs.
