Wow... That's a hard one. It all started when Brit and Byron, champions of their own time, both had dreams on the same night in 1992 of one day re-forming rock-n-roll as we knew it. Not into some strange watery amalgam, my friends, but into something strong, something noble, something...with an egg shaker. It wasn't until thirteen years later that the world discovered that they were both rock-n-roll geniuses. That's when it all really came together. Oh, and when they sold their souls to the devil--that helped too. Throw in the tasty drum talent of the bodacious Landon Lee Laws, and Evan St. John, who, along with his absolutely orgasmic Bass and luscious riffs, has been known to level battlefields and bring lesser beings to their knees, and you had yourself a stew that tasted just like Musical Thunder. And the rest, as they say, is total badassery.
If you're looking for a modest, reliable account of the band's history...make something up; whatever you come up with, assume it's fairly accurate. We're musicians, not historians.
you know, you requested a metalhead to be your friend. but as a metalhead, I must say I really enjoy your james. I'll head out sometime and try to catch yall :)
