   About The Possums
Coming from the four corners of the universe, The Possums united in 2004 in order to save the Pope from a thought to be incurable disease, which he caught from eating too much pudding. After saving the pope successfully in an epic collaboration with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Possums were subsequently left with an extreme surplus of free time. These majestic stallions spent most of this free time playing their instruments, making poopy jokes, and training to become fire fighters. Then, in the summer of 2005, a miracle happened. God sent them a message that read: "play that funky music, White, Asian, Latino, brown boys". They took this advice, but as they were too busy with their important career in underwear modeling, they could not write structured songs and became a jam band. After this transformation, they embodied poopy jokes and shovels. Ever since January 14th 2006 where they played "The First Annual Ottawa Ska Fest", these sexy beasts have been playing gigs around Ottawa and Hull thanks to amazing promoters (you know who you all are)...truly some of the best people alive! Now they play pretty much any venue, any time, with any band... They are also caught playing the odd party now and then. So take advantage...you asshole.
ADD OUR BANNER!.

LOOK AT PRETTY PICTURES!.

That's for sure!
There are too many people that don't know what they represent, like some mainstream punks out there. Or they don't know what terms REALLY mean like Emo or Rock.
Grr. I fine the generations around me are falling apart at their musical seams at times!!!

Hahaha. Welcome to the reason PaperClip got started. =]

Well!!! I'm trying to find all the Ottawa bands. Every bloody single one!!! Yes, quite the epic hunt! =D
My friend Frank named you lads when I asked him to name me 30 Ottawa bands.
And I liked what I heard from your Myspace, so I figured I'd add you sooner then later.
Does that suffice for an answer? =]
Keep the Ottawa Scene Alive!!!
