the novembers

our story is a long and exciting one; at times tragic and at other times still tragic. we started off as a garage band in germany (which is peculiar because none of the band members are even from germany), where the indie rock scene isn't too spectacular. originially, the band was the brainchild of one Biff "the tool" Goodman. the first line up was Biff on vocals, Dolphin on guitar, bob on the piano, Krunx on the spoons, Troy on drums, and Karson on harmonica. with a full set of songs written and ready to record, the band decided to play their first gig at a festival held in a WALMART parking lot in Amsterdam. en route to the show, the front tire of Biff's mom's van blew out, sending the van across the median into on coming traffic. miraculously, no one was harmed in the accident, but Biff decided that this was a sign from God that he was to enter into the priesthood. the band was in turmoil; uncertain of their future, as Biff was the glue that held the band together (and he also took all of their songs and burned the recordings and sheet music, claiming it was "devil music"). after a few months of struggling to keep the band going, bob decided they needed a few changes to the line up. Beckster "the Great" was added on vocals, Luke came on board playing the bass and keyboard, jay playing the bones, and Dingo playing the egg. bob decided to take up the guitar and fill in with back up vocals and screaming. Krunx brought his passion for the didgeridoo and added it to the sound, while Karson gave up the harmonica (claiming that it was too "lame") and took up percussion (he plays a mean triangle). as for Biff "the tool" Goodman, he has recently given up on the priesthood and taken a job as a systems analyst.
