Once upon a time there were three men. They were menly men. Infact they were so menly that they were not born as children; they were born as men.
From an early age each man felt a burning itch. They scratched the burning itch and it went away... Later on they felt a calling, they answered the calling and so that went away too. Eventually they felt destiny gently prod them with a large spork.
The spork is generally more useful than just a fork or a spoon, particularly if you're in the business of entertaining- but I digress...
This gentle prodding made Paul pick up a guitar. He held his plectrum to the sky, let out a great manly yell, brought his plectrum down on his guitar with furious passion and instantly became mediocre.
Paul later met Adam and they got on famously. They found common ground in the fact that they were both mediocre; both as people and as guitarists. The mediocrity continued for many years until they met Bart, who was slightly better than mediocre.
Mr. Wolf was born and as a percentage was 94% mediocre, and so began something beautiful, and by beautiful I mean childish, and by childish I mean pointless.
Over time the men grew, and by grew I mean got bigger not more wise or talented.... This growing made songs happen.
The songs were terrible. On the 6th day songs stopped happening and so for 2 years the men played the same 9 ditties in the same venue to an audience of three.
If you are reading this you are now fan number four, welcome to the family.
Chump rock as the one band genre is now known plods endlessly on, wonders will never cease and neither will Mr. Wolf
