Long Ago (2005), a man from the lands of Chicagous Southium, journied to the backwaters of the Illinois soy forests with a dream. That man was the Ferocious Oi! Andrew, and that dream was ska... He found others who would join his quest, amongst them was "he who fails out of college" the infamous Bret Lockerbie, ready to produce upbeats with his ample 100$ ska guitar skills, Diana the ska queen who in days of lore, battled nazis with her epic "ska saximus", and Rob the mystical Ska Wizzard. They were to join forces and create a massive ska army that would fight under the flag of "Better than Macguyver", for they, with the powers of ska, were better than even the all inventive one. All was ready, but alas, as the posse were sharpening their blades and donning their sundresses, Bret, living up to his title, did indeed fail out of college. Full of shame, Bret hurled himself off the top of Fortress PMC, falling to his death. This along with the departure of the great Rob to the north take up the battle with the "Skamakazies" and Diana too busy fighting against evil legions of children, caused the dream once held so high, to seemingly vanish...
Oi! Andrew returned to his home, with plans to stay, but as the fall grew near, he decided to return to the land of soy for one last time... or so he thought. Upon returning to fortress Milli-bubble, Oi! Andrew was walking with a fellow adventurer the "emaculate intoxicator" Mike Tasch, when they happened to pass a student of the voice whom glowed with the power of the ska. This man, Ptak "the pretty boy", had the voice needed to carry the power of ska, and the ax to produce upbeats with extreme potency. He agreed to join with the Ferocious one and Tasch figured that he could spare some time from his epic battle against big government and add his bass prowess to the mix. With the further additions of HxC Andrew (Veganus Maximus) whom they met while he was embattled with local constables trying to kill bunnies, and the ever fashionable, yet deadly aikido master Dan a new beacon of skadom was born... That beacon has come be be known as Jackhammer Hoganson (named after an ancient siren troll of the north) and it would take all the world by storm!!!!
UPDATE!!!
After much darkness, sobbing, gnashing of teeth and the occasional beer run to Kroger, Jackhammer Hoganson was in dire need of revolution. Mike Tasch, tired of paying the kings taxes, traveled afar to the orient. In his absence the valiant warriors of ska-dom came across a young Korean muse by the name of Louis "Kung Fu" Kappler. Upon making them chicken fried rice at the low cost of 5 dollars they brought he and his Seoul-full bass on their grand crusade of sweaty practice rooms and under attended concerts. Dan the aikido master left JHH to teach a mighty enclave with the mission of fighting administrative corruption, but was soon replaced by pokemon poet Alex. Just as all seemed ready and the conquest was to begin, Charles "Pargius Farticus" the fabled vanguard of the laziest trumpet in all Christendom, came to assist them with his moderately high note playing ability and penchant for sleeping through classes. The quintet was now a sextet, and the world was soon come to a holy epiphany. Ska is not dead, but rather very lazy and occasionally out of tune...
