now:
Matt Gunar Moody, MDA (Lead Vocals, Lead Bass, Lead Beard), left the
experience of making the Shadow Plains cult Favorite, Madison (xoxo
records, 2005), with the taste of milk and honey. After a lavish
month celebrating its release with a whirlwind "Tour of the Vengeful
Deserts", he found himself malaria-stricken, road-weary, clinging to
his beard in his half-awake, half-asleep coma of desperation that had
taken over what was once the life of a
shaggy-haired-care-free-peace-touting-flower-tossing-neon-throwing-lightning-rod-miracle
of a pop superstar.
On February Twenty-Eighth, Twenty-O-Six, Moody climbed from his bed a
bald, heavily-bearded, whisp of a man --But a man, none-the-less!--
and rang his Latin/Japanese/Chinese/White butler to find him a glass
to toast with! he had written his next epic masterpieces ENTIRELY IN
HIS DRUG-ADDLED, POST-MALARIA-ENCRUSTED, FANTASTIC MIND!
Jeremy Ferguson (Lead Engineer/Producer) records all the music. His
day job is as a mechanic. He dreamed of being a frontman in a band
ever since he saw Marcy Playground at a halloween party in his
hometown, White Bridge, PA. Growing up a Quaker was tough but
Ferguson was always willing to put on a show.
Matt Martin (Lead Drummer) is the Author. They had music before he
joined the group but it took on a life brand new with his vision, his
whole take on non-melodius melodies, and the whole more is less than
more of nothing approach. Don't even get me started on the whale
sounds.
Andy Willhite (Lead Guitar, Second rank Vocalist) was raised in the
jungles of Peru by spider monkeys, went on to complete his G.E.D., and
operates his own line of breakfast trucks ("Andy's Famous Pork Links &
Waffle Iron Hour!") when he's not attending classes at G.I.T.
Matt Rowland (Lead Piano and Organ) is blind, likens himself to
Richard Pryor in See No Evil, Hear No Evil (with Gene Wilder), has
always been bi-curious towards houses, and is very proud of his
achievements in bowling for the blind, which involves neither bowling
nor blind people.
Mason Vickery founded Orphans without Seals to make sure all the
children of the world could know of Seal's love. Seal, as you know,
has sold many records. Mason also arranges the seating in the VW
expanded Beetle-come-Bus-come-Tour Bus while the band is touring.
Todd Kemp left the band tragically in 2002 to form his own
breakdancing crew called Steppin for Jesus!. He dances for the Lord in
tiny churches all across the Congo.

Charles Dickens began pasting labels on blaking pots. The tragedy of his first love penetrated the depths of his soul, and converted him into one of the world's truly great authors. That tragedy produced, first, David Copperfield, then a succession of other works that made this a richer and better world for all who read his books. Dissappointment over love affairs, generally has the effect of driving men to drink, and women to ruin; and this because most people never never learn the art of transmuting their strongest emotions into dreams of a constructive nature.
