Once there was a band called The Phlegmatics. They lived in the far-off, exotic local of Houston, Texas. Ethan “Big E Money” Marshall played drums. Does the guy have chops? No, he’s not old enough to grow significant sideburns yet, but he’s quite handy with an axe, hence his part-time job in Houston's vital logging industry. But he can really play guitar and people generally just seem to think he’s hot. You’d better not mess with Jonas “Jules” Velasco. If he doesn’t get you with his fat bass lines or his smooth vocal stylings, he may catch you in the mouth with a roundhouse kick. No worries though as long as you stay on his good side, which his mom thinks is his left. Bringing up the rear…is Jonathan “4 Eyes” Marshall. You might have beaten him up in grade school, or Junior High, or maybe you sat next to him in Latin club (or all three). When he’s not watching sci-fi reruns or organizing his stamp collection, he’s strumming guitar and verbalizing his deepest, darkest thoughts. These heroes, this collection of misfits, this band of brothers (really, Jonathan & Ethan are brothers), came together to spread love and good computer skills to the world around them. And to play some rock n' roll. Inspired by predecessors such as The Police, The Descendents, and Weezer, Ethan, Jonas, and Jonathan started jamming together in July of 2003, and they quickly took a short break, because jamming is hard work, then proceeded to turn out a batch of catchy tunes that would soon coalesce as their independent release, Alumnus. Along with the recording of their first album, The Phlegmatics were joined by Dave “Dad” Marshall on lead guitar and they played a slew of tight, energetic live gigs in, around and about the local club scene, enjoying a larger and larger smattering of applause. They also enjoyed some airtime on the alternative rock radio station 94.5 The Buzz. Somehow, The Houston Chronicle got wind of this and did a short, but very sweet article about the band. Not to be outdone, The Chronicle’s arch-nemesis, The Houston Press, nominated the guys for their 2005 Houston Press Music Award “Best Pop-Punk Band”. “Oh yeah?” said The Chronicle. “Well we’ll choose The Phlegmatics to feature in our 2005 Ultimate Houston Section as Houston’s Ultimate Geek Band!” Settle down fellas, there’s enough Phlegmatics for everyone. Well, unlike the rose-colored view presented in the preceding paragraph, the life of a band is rough…carrying equipment, thankless rehearsals, taking out the trash, thankless autograph signings, good hygiene, the inability to be recognized in public…in short, what story needs any problems as mundane as aliens or vampires when it contains hard working musicians? Well, that's the way it is for this young band just beginning its adventure in the exciting yet dangerous world of the music business. This much can be said however; The Phlegmatics (also known as The Hot One, The Tough One, The Nerdy One and Pop) will be bringing their driving brand of Power Pop Punk to a club, website, record store, radio station, or junior high school multi-purpose room near you.

Regarding my previously-submitted comment: "Nevermind". Just a brain spasm due to either advancing dementia or caffeine withdrawal.

Hi there The Phlegmatics first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.

Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.

We have also built a pretty big music community which you are welcome to join if you want to meet new artists like yourself!

hey man, thanks for the update. sort of takes the wind out of one, even if i haven't followed closely for years.

mr. norman really was one of the focal points in my becoming the man i am. in a very real way, he got me through my teens and early 20s and helped keep me on the reservation and from doing some damned stupid things.
