Past names include: Elodea, The Remins. The Man tore the old Elodea myspace down. Zach and Ben went to Muir. Go Hawkeyes!
Heidoid lives in Fargo, where she plays with the bodies of zombies and with Oboes (oh boy!) and Banjoes (oh no!). Sandy lives near Zach, where the fish-eaten, cement shoe-wearin' Hoffa lost his beer can; plays the bass.
Nate was a boyfriend of a girlfriend of a friend of Zach's and performed songs at different student recitals that Ben and Zach attended--then came to a Fruckus show--the rest is history.
Some past/honorary members include Liz, Sara, Nadzy, Monica and McZach on pianos, gags and whistles... Fortunately, all entered the fine instution of MSU, bringing each their own musical backrounds. All classically and absentmindedly trained, yet unlearned. When a tree falls in a forest with no one around, ask a Remodea, it heard.
hello hello hello. I believe I started this comment in the hopes of having something witty and meaningful to say, but my optimism outstrips my reality. so, again, hello.
