heterogenous bands: Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, Pavement, Queen, The Fab Four from Liverpool, Husker Du, Gong, Can, The Kinks, Captain Beefheart & His/The Magic Band, Ween, Pixies, Guided By Voices, Frank Zappa & The Mothers (with hopes of soon sounding like Popol Vuh and Cluster)
from the ashes of briefly lived Kalamazoo act Smoove Toofpaste (and featuring former members of Edward, Sleeper Agent, The Shamefuls, The Hideaways and a currently featuring a man from Nwe Spryghts and Aaron Young & His NightJars) creep The Philly Crawlers, a band jaded to the delusions of fame and fortune through music, seeking nothing more than the kicks of playing in a band. self-described as "the least rock 'n' roll rock band" due to the lack of any tattoos or piercings amongst them, no history of heavy illegal drug use, and lack of belligerence during intoxication (alcohol being their drug of choice, perhaps their only semblance of rock integrity), the band still enjoys turning it up loud and taking an audience by storm. or something like that.

Perched on the edge of a cliff, a philly crawler crept close to cold mountain child. They observed each other, nervous at first. CM Child grabbed a stick to poke the philly crawler, but then stopped and threw the stick away. The philly crawler inched closer, and after some awkward gazing, they nuzzled. Later that night they cooked salmon over a fire and told ghost stories.
